Bierstadter Warte, Medieval watchtower in Bierstadt, Germany.
The cylindrical stone tower stands at 10.4 meters tall on the Bierstadter Höhe, offering views over the surrounding landscape toward Mainz.
Count Johann II of Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein constructed this defensive watchtower in 1473 to protect his territory from the Electorate of Mainz.
The tower appears in silver on a red background in the Wiesbaden-Bierstadt coat of arms, representing the district's historical identity.
The structure currently houses fire department communication antennas and remains closed to public access due to safety considerations.
Between 1910 and 1918, a 50-meter wooden observation tower called the Wiesbaden Eiffel Tower stood near the Bierstadter Warte.
