-The South Tower was built in 1318, and had a dungeon ​(or at least a pit inside ​where they threw prisoners).  One prisoner was Fritz Erbe, an early Anabaptist who was imprisoned from 1540 until his death in 1548 for refusing to baptize his children as infants. ​ The Anabaptist movement gave rise to the Amish and Mennonites, who believe in adult baptism. ​ Interestingly,​ we have Erbe in our Ungerech family tree, but probably not related.+The South Tower was built in 1318.
