Adlerturm Dortmund, Medieval tower in Dortmund, Germany
The Adlerturm stands 30 meters tall on preserved foundations from the 14th century, featuring six floors of exhibits about medieval Dortmund.
Originally constructed around 1300 as part of Dortmund's fortification system with 14 watchtowers, the structure was demolished in 1836 and rebuilt in 1992.
The children's museum inside the tower presents medieval artifacts, including weapons from the Great Dortmund Feud and a city model with Playmobil figures.
Located at Günter-Samtlebe-Platz 2, the museum operates Wednesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering guided tours for groups and schools.
Visitors can participate in archaeological excavations, handle medieval weapons, try on period costumes, and explore interactive exhibits across multiple floors.
