Nach Verleihung der Stadtrechte an Dierdorf durch Kaiser Karl IV. im Jahre 1357 als Teil der Stadtbefestigung mit überdachtem Wehrgang errichtet.
Whrgang und Tor wurden Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts abgebrochen. Teile der alten Stadtmauer blieben am rückwärtigen Teil des Unterturmes erhalten. Der Turm überstand den Bombenangriff am 25. März 1945 obwohl ringsherum alles in Trümmern fiel.
