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

The Galgenbergturm is an observation tower standing about 17 meters tall on a hilltop in Spiesen-Elversberg. From its elevated position at 356 meters above sea level, it offers views across the landscape surrounding the municipality.

Elversberg citizens built the tower on Spiesen land between 1937 and 1939, and on 8 July 1939 it was inaugurated as the Adolf-Hitler-Turm by Ernst Ludwig Leyser, deputy Gauleiter of the Saarpfalz. After the war it was renamed Galgenbergturm after the 356 m hill it stands on.

The tower's silhouette has appeared on Spiesen-Elversberg's redesigned municipal logo since late 2007. The area around it became a recreation zone from 1979, and a rose garden was laid out in 1989 with roughly 1,200 roses of 15 varieties on 2,000 m². Volunteers and the municipal works department cleaned and restored the garden in spring 2017 during the "Picobello" campaign.

The tower is not staffed, so the key for the climb must be requested by telephone from the tower guardian before you go. The tower stands on the 356 m Galgenberg hill, and the open area east of it is used for occasional events.

The tower's silhouette has appeared on Spiesen-Elversberg's redesigned municipal logo since late 2007. The 17-metre structure stands on the 356-metre Galgenberg hill, the height that gave the tower its post-war name.
