Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The last remaining part of the former ringwall,

which, at one time, surrounded the entire town except for the section along the Aare river. Still clearly visible under the pinnacles: the arrow slits. Behind it is a 40m stretch of the former battlement parapet. From the crenellations of the Hexenturm, which can only be seen from inside the town, a witch is supposed to have caused a terrible

storm during Olten’s occupation by Solothurn and Berne troops in 1383.
Français : Dernier vestige conservé de l’ancien mur d’enceinte

qui encerclait jadis toute la ville, à l’exception de la partie située sur les bords de l’Aar. En dessous du couronnement, on distingue encore les meurtrières. Derrière, vestiges d’une section de l’ancien chemin de ronde longue de 40 mètres. Il se raconte qu’en 1383, une sorcière a provoqué une tempête tellement importante depuis le pinacle de la tour – visible uniquement depuis l’intérieur de la ville – que les troupes soleuroises et bernoises ont été

contraintes de lever l’occupation de la ville
Deutsch: Letztes erhaltenes Stück der ehemaligen

Ringmauer, die einst, mit Ausnahme der an der Aare gelegenen Partie, die ganze Stadt umfasste. Unter der Bekrönung noch deutlich ablesbar: Schiessscharten. Dahinter erhalten ein ca. 40m langes Stück des einstigen Wehrganges. Von der Zinne des nur von der Stadtinnenseite erkennbaren «Hexenturms» aus, soll anlässlich der Belagerung Oltens durch Solothurn

und Bern 1383 eine Hexe ein schreckliches Unwetter bewirkt haben
