Köismäe (Köismägi) torn
Rope hill tower. Standing between Plate and Loewenschede towers and built around 1360, the tower was named after the nearby rope-making industry (see Köismäe).
Köismäe (Köismägi) 
Rope hill, named after a former locality of that name specialized in its manufacture, the German equivalent of which is Hamburg’s well-known Reeperbahn meaning “long, open space for rope-making” (MLG rēpærebāne composed of: a) rēpære, sail-maker, from rēp, rope, cord, strand, etc., cf. mod. Ger. Reep (cf. Eng. rope), used only today by sailors, while Seil, a modern term for rope (alongside Tau), from sēl cognate with sēgel, mod Ger. Segel (sail) seems to have shifted meaning from sail to rope, as did ‘sheet’ in Eng. (see Soodi), and b) ‑bahn, which has nothing to do with today’s ‘station’ (although it is the same root) but from MLG bāne, bān meaning “(long/wide), open space” (see Suur-Patarei and Luite). The põik and tee have gone the way of all stone and all that remains is a tower at Laboratooriumi 27 in the old city wall.
Seltri (Selters)
Seltzer, or just plain soda or carbonated water, named after the German town of Selters known for its mineral water. Calling a street which led directly to the then Härjapea river cum Tallinn waste-disposal duct is as misleading as Icelanders calling their neighbor 'Greenland'. Also spelled Seltersi which was not to Estonian taste, even less so I imagine in its relatively unpronounceable full name of seltersivesi (soda water). In fact, the street was named after a one-time R. Scheibe mineral-water factory located there.
