Flaggenturm, Stone tower in Bad Dürkheim, Germany.

The Flaggenturm is a stone structure in Bad Dürkheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, rising about 10 meters tall. It sits within a landscape of vineyards and forests, forming a distinct landmark in this varied terrain.

The Flaggenturm was built in 1854, funded by donations from Bad Dürkheim citizens as the spa town prospered, and served as an attraction and viewing platform for visitors. In early 2002 ownership passed to the Drachenfels-Club, which had already taken over maintenance of the structure.

Locals call the tower "Kaffeemühlchen" (little coffee mill) because its octagonal, two-storey form resembles one. The flagpole is raised only on special occasions, such as the Stadtfest or the Wurstmarkt wine festival. The tower stands in the Dürkheimer Fuchsmantel vineyard site.

The tower stands on the Fuchsmantel hill southwest of Bad Dürkheim, reached on foot; an external sandstone stair leads to the 5.4 m platform, but the metal gate to the upper spiral stair is usually locked. The town promotes an 8 km circular walk, "Türme und Klöster", passing the Seebach monastery church and the Zeppelinturm.

The tower is nicknamed "Kaffeemühlchen" (little coffee mill) for its shape. Its parapet bears orientation arrows to landmarks, and on clear days the Taunus with the Großen Feldberg is visible to the northeast. It is one of the few spots outside the Rhine plain from which both the Wachtenburg and the Limburg monastery ruin can be seen.
