Berger Warte, Medieval watchtower in Seckbach, Germany.
Berger Warte is a stone watchtower with circular design located within the Regionalpark Rhein-Main. The structure was built from local sandstone and displays typical construction methods used for defensive towers during its era.
The watchtower was built in 1557 and replaced an earlier wooden structure that stood in this location. It served as part of a defensive network helping to monitor the important Hohen Strasse trade route and protect merchants traveling through.
The tower shows how people in medieval times protected their trade routes and monitored goods passing through. Visitors can see today how important such watchtowers were for safety and control in the region.
The tower is located within the park system and can be reached via marked pathways that connect to the broader trail network. The site is easily accessible and works well as a stop during a walk through the park.
The watchtower retained its original circular moat that once served as additional protection. This feature makes it one of the best-kept examples of Frankfurt's medieval defensive tower system.
