Werk Glockenberg, Prussian fortification in Asterstein district, Koblenz, Germany.
The structure consisted of a three-winged, two-story tower construction located south of Fort Asterstein, forming part of the Pfaffendorfer Höhe defense system.
Built in 1822 during the expansion of Koblenz's fortification system under King Friedrich Wilhelm III, the structure served military purposes until its partial demolition in the 1920s.
The remains of Werk Glockenberg and its Teufelstreppe stone staircase are preserved as protected monuments within the UNESCO World Heritage Upper Middle Rhine Valley.
The restored Teufelstreppe staircase provides direct access between Asterstein district and Koblenz city center, serving as an essential pedestrian connection.
Underground cellars from the original 1864 structure remain beneath modern buildings, preserving elements of the historical military architecture beneath the surface.
