Zündhütle, Industrial tower in Karlsruhe, Germany.
The Zündhütle stands 40 meters tall as a former ammunition factory tower constructed of steel and concrete in the city of Karlsruhe.
Built in 1897, this tower functioned as part of an ammunition production facility until 1973, where liquid lead was poured to create ammunition balls.
The structure represents a period of industrial development in Karlsruhe and maintains protected status as a cultural heritage monument of Germany.
Visitors can reach the tower through marked hiking trails starting from Wolfartsweier, with a 4.79-kilometer loop path providing access to the site.
The tower's specialized design included a drop system where molten lead fell into a water basin below, solidifying into perfect spheres for ammunition production.
