Leipziger Turm, Medieval defense tower in Halle (Saale), Germany
The Leipziger Turm stands 44 meters tall, constructed with rough stone walls that measure 2.80 meters thick at the base.
Built in the mid-15th century next to the Galgtor gate, the tower served as a watchtower to alert citizens of external threats and internal fires.
The tower features Gothic architectural elements, including a pointed arch entrance door and windows that remain in their original condition.
Located at the intersection of Leipziger Street between the marketplace and central station, the tower marks a central point in Halle's urban layout.
In 1573, the tower received a Renaissance-style dome with four slate-covered dormers and a copper lantern, plus a clock mechanism with two faces.
