City walls of Büdingen, Medieval fortification complex in Büdingen, Germany.
The defensive walls of Büdingen feature multiple towers, gates, and bastions stretching across the perimeter of the historical town center.
The fortification system, constructed during the late Middle Ages, underwent significant expansions between the 15th and 19th centuries to adapt to evolving military needs.
The walls incorporate the Hexenturm tower and Jerusalem Gate, which host regular guided tours exploring the medieval architecture and local traditions.
Visitors can access the walls daily through multiple entry points, with designated parking areas near the Jerusalem Gate and information center.
Albert Einstein visited these fortifications in 1952, describing the medieval complex as representing the most appealing aspects of historical architecture.
