Century the plant was converted under the Saxonian Dorothea Maria into a lock. The powerful Roman donjon was so badly damaged 1635 by lightning strikes that it had to be torn off. During the war the walls became ramshackle and easily to conquer, therefore a horde/hurdle soldier took them 1640 and penetrated from here into the city, where they put the gothical Marienkirche in debris and ash. After in the seven-year-old the defenses of the city the Prussian aggressors could not withstand war again, one tore the Stadtmauer and let the lock purge.
