Thiels-Burg, Historical tower in Avelsbach, Trier, Germany.
The cylindrical stone structure measures eleven meters in diameter and features two floors with a tower extension at its upper level.
Built in 1910, the tower commemorates Professor Hugo Thiel's contributions to viticulture development along the Moselle River during Prussia's agricultural initiatives.
The building displays a bronze relief portrait of Hugo Thiel from 1912 and includes an engraved commemoration of Halley's Comet on its lower doorframe.
The structure remains closed to visitors since 2017 due to substantial damage to exterior walls and ceilings requiring extensive restoration work.
The tower served as both a shelter for vineyard workers and an observation point, offering views across Avelertal and the Mosel valley.
