Galgenbergturm Spiesen, Observation tower in Spiesen-Elversberg, Germany.

The Galgenbergturm stands 17 meters tall on a hill at 356 meters above sea level, providing views over the municipality of Spiesen-Elversberg.

Local citizens constructed the tower between 1937 and 1939, with its inauguration taking place on July 8, 1939, during the National Socialist period.

The tower appears as an abstract silhouette on the municipal logo of Spiesen-Elversberg since 2007, representing the identity of the community.

Visitors need to contact the tower guardian by telephone to obtain the key for accessing the observation platform at the top.

During clear weather conditions, observers can spot the Schwarzerbergturm in Saarbrücken, Schaumberg near Tholey, and sections of Lorraine from the tower.
