It is the medieval landmark of Lucerne and was built in the 13th century as a city fortification. Originally, an inner and outer ring secured the city from enemy attacks.
The Museggmauer is still 870 m long, about 9 m high and 1.5 m wide. This makes it the longest city wall preserved on one piece throughout Switzerland.
From the past 30 towers are preserved 9: Nölliturm, Männliturm, Luegisland, Wachtturm, Zytturm, Schirmerturm, Pulverturm, Allenwindenturm und Dächliturm. They offer an ideal habitat for a variety of animal species and plants.
owever, the roof structure of the Dächliturms was not built until spring 1449 at the earliest. It was originally - like other towers of the Musegg fortification - a shell tower (like the Luegislandturm still today). In 1728 the tower shell was closed by a brick south facade. A tower room was built under the pyramid roof. The interior of the tower will not be extended until 1731 at the earliest.
With a height of 27.35 m it is the smallest tower of the Musegg Wall and measures in the base area 5.4 m x 7.3 m. The side walls are 1.4 m thick, the later south wall measures 0.6 m.

The Männliturm one of nine towers of the Musegg Wall in the city of Lucerne. It is located between the Nölliturm and the Luegislandturm. The tower is named after the "iron male," a half-figure of a two-metre high horned warrior with a flag and sword. This forms the tip of one of the two bay towers in the rim.
The building has a height of 33 meters, making it the third tallest tower in the Musegg Wall. 125 steps lead to the observation deck at a height of about 30 meters. This offers an all-round view of the city of Lucerne the Lake Lucerne the Reuss and the Pilatus.
The Luegislandturm is largely preserved in the state of the construction period and offers a unique building history testimony.
The Luegislandturm was built shortly after 1367. It is a shell tower without tin wreath, i.e. it is open on its south side towards the old town of Lucerne. The construction condition still corresponds to that of the construction period. In places, the scaffolding timbers from the construction period are still visible in the interior, which is a national sensation, because both the scaffolding holes and the remains of the scaffolding timber heads have been preserved. Such a time capsule is practically nowhere in such an unadulterated form.
The Luegislandturm is the oldest known part of the Musegg fortification. He was given his name by the guardians who had been dwelling on him since at least 1397. According to the 1447 Ordinance, they were mainly responsible for fire observation, indication of the hour stroke and other guards.
It is a shell tower with an area of 8.75 m x 7.75 m and a height of 52.6 m. It is exceptionally well preserved and presents itself in the brick part largely in the state of the construction period. In places even the scaffolding woods, which were usually sawn flush with walls, protrude from the wall.

Zug la Zytturm
La Zytturm est une tour située dans la ville de Zoug, en Suisse sur laquelle se trouve une horloge astronomique.
La tour a été construite au XIIIe siècle, puis surélevée entre 1478 et 1480. En 1557, elle prend sa forme actuelle. La dernière rénovation majeure de la tour a été conduite en 1952. Elle est inscrite comme bien culturel d'importance nationale, avec l'ensemble des remparts de la ville et des autres tours.
En 1574, une horloge astronomique est construite sur la face Est de la tour en dessous de l'horloge normale. Cette horloge a quatre indicateurs : la semaine, la phase de la lune, le mois et la lettre S qui indique une année bissextile.
La tour de l’horloge fait partie des fortifications de Lucerne. Les remparts et leurs neuf tours (Nölliturm, Männliturm, Luegisland , Wachtturm, Zytturm, Schirmerturm, Pulverturm, Allenwindenturm et Dächliturm) ont été bâtis entre le XIVèmeet le XVIème siècles. Les tours étaient le symbole de l’essor du pouvoir de la Ville et République de Lucerne.

In der Schule lernt jedes Kind den Spruch der neun Museggtürme.
Der Zytturm hat das Erstschlagrecht, das bedeutet, er darf eine Minute früher als alle anderen Uhren in Luzern schlagen. Erbaut im Jahre 1403 erhielt der Zytturm 1508 eine neue Uhr und ein Zifferblatt. Das Erstschlagsrecht ist ein Zeichen für das städtische Selbstbewusstsein: Wer die Zeit in der eigenen Hand hält, hat auch Macht über den Raum und das Leben.
Vier Türme und der Wehrgang sind von April bis Ende Oktober zugänglich.
Wilde Mannen waren in Luzern meist als Schildträger seit dem Spätmittelalter beliebte Motive. An der Museggmauer und in der Altstadt haben sich mehrere Darstellungen erhalten. Der Wilde Mann steht für Unabhängigkeit und Freiheit.
