It was built between 1562 and 1563 by the architect Antonio da Ponte from Venice. The Sinwell Tower was constructed as part of a fortification system to reinforce the castle’s defenses. Its name, “Sinwell,” is derived from the term “sinwell,” which means “round well” in Middle High German, referencing its cylindrical shape.

Originally, the tower served as a cistern, storing water for the castle’s residents during times of siege. It had a capacity to hold around 400,000 liters of water, making it a crucial element for the castle’s survival during conflicts. This rock is called Affenfelsen.

The Nuremberg Affenfelsen, also known as the Nuremberg Monkey Rocks, refers to a historical incident that occurred during the Nuremberg Trials following World War II. This particular incident involved 23 high-ranking Nazi officials who were accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The “Affenfelsen” incident gained attention during the trial of Julius Streicher, the publisher of the anti-Semitic newspaper “Der Stürmer.” As Streicher’s trial progressed, he delivered an outburst, shouting and disrupting the proceedings. He ranted about being silenced and the court’s hypocrisy in judging him while ignoring alleged crimes committed by others.

At one point during his tirade, Streicher referred to the witness stand as the “Affenfelsen,” which translates to “Monkey Rocks” in English. This term was originally used by Streicher in reference to the witness stand being akin to a circus or a place where monkeys perform.

Streicher’s outburst was emblematic of the chaotic and tense atmosphere of the trials, where emotions ran high, and defendants often attempted to disrupt proceedings or justify their actions.
