The expansion between the tips of the bastions Johann and Martin (North-South-direction) is approx. 640m. Distance between the tips of bastions
Philipp and Michael (East-West-direction) is approx. 440m.
From 1664 to 1737. Development phases of the bastions and outworks of the fortress.
The Monastery St. Peter is gradually surrounded by the fortress walls that took up parts of the city wall in itself.
