Bockenheimer Warte, Medieval watchtower in Westend, Frankfurt, Germany
The Bockenheimer Warte stands as a stone fortification structure with characteristic medieval architecture elements, maintaining its original form in Frankfurt's urban landscape.
Built during the Middle Ages, this watchtower formed an essential component of Frankfurt's defense system, monitoring movements and controlling access to the city.
