  Looks like a dynasty of master trolls who were also masons.

  But I wonder if there’s a better reason

    Yeah. Everyone was plastered all the time.

  This was done so that if an archer approaching the tower nocks 5 arrows at the same time, he cannot hit guards in all 5 windows at once.

  Later, purposefully-designed bows rendered this defense useless.

  This is a clock tower. Most likely the internal mechanisms for clock precludes a centerline window. Something booked to the wall, etc.

    That sounds pretty plausible, but I’m not sure.

    The windows are only very slightly off center, inconsistent, and even the ones above the clock are as well (although the clock mechanism could extend both up and down).

    But I also don’t have any better explanation.

    These clocks were installed far later than the towers.

    The construction for the first one started in 1233.

    The one with the part of the wall missing is from 1260, they are all part of the old defence walls of the city of Villingen.

    I literally drove through two of them today.

    Could be. I struggle to imagine what would need to be bolted to the wall, only in that place, only on that one floor.

    Now that actually looks like a pattern put in on purpose.

    I wonder if there was a technical reason for the windows in those watchtowers, or like if they were just trying to torment their village’s mentally challenged resident who happened to have an extreme distaste for unorderly things

    You can’t live in them directly, but I literally lived within 2min from there for a few years.

    Isn’t it the German town with the highest suicide rate?

    Is this in Pennsylvania? It looks really familiar, I stayed at a place very much like it a few years ago, I’m wondering if it’s the same place

    • ZebulonP@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      No, this is a town in Germany.
