Blutturm, Fortified tower in Neuss, Germany.
The Blutturm stands as a semicircular tower constructed from basalt and tuff materials, integrated within the former town fortifications of Neuss.
During medieval times, this tower served as a prison where Hester Meurer was held in 1635 before her execution on charges of witchcraft.
The structure represents medieval defensive architecture and contains two preserved arches that supported the original guard walkway along the city walls.
The tower now functions as a youth center, offering educational programs and activities for local children and teenagers since the 1980s.
Writer Karl Schorn established his residence within this fortified structure for approximately ten years following World War II.
