Brühlsbacher Warte, Medieval watchtower in Wetzlar, Germany
The cylindrical stone tower stands 18 meters tall with a diameter of 4 meters and features 22 steps leading to an elevated entrance.
Built in the 14th century to protect trade routes, the tower was destroyed in 1391 and reconstructed as an observation point in 1912.
The structure belongs to the Four Towers hiking trail network and carries the name of a nearby school, connecting education with local heritage.
Visitors can access the tower from a parking area near the sports field and youth hostel, at coordinates 50.5441°N and 8.52385°E.
Local residents refer to this stone watchtower as 'The Pencil' due to its narrow, vertical shape rising from the Stoppelberg hill.
