Removable roof information


The Spitalbastei in Rothenburg ob der Tauber
A removable roof on a cavalier of the Middle Franconian fortress of Lichtenau
Two bastions with removal roofs. The curtain wall with its roof corbels is dominated by a cavalier (Lichtenau Fortress)

A removable roof (Abwurfdach)[1][2] was an easily dismantled construction that protected the curtain walls, cavaliers and bastions of several early modern European fortresses. It was once believed that this construction was as old as the 12th century, but most modern historians maintain that the first removable roofs were constructed around 1550.
