Bertzit Tower, Industrial monument in Plessa, Germany.
The Bertzit Tower rises 35 meters above the lowlands of Schwarze Elster, featuring a square floor plan constructed of reinforced concrete in 1920.
The tower was built near Ada mine during Germany's industrial expansion, intended for a coal drying plant that would process brown coal using the Bertzit process.
The tower structure mirrors the architectural design of Bavarian church towers, standing as a testament to the region's industrial transformation in the early 20th century.
Cyclists can access the tower through connected bikeway networks that link multiple regional attractions, including moorlands and historical energy routes.
The facility never fulfilled its intended purpose due to technical difficulties, making it the oldest incomplete industrial structure in the Elbe-Elster region.
