Hoher Turm, Church tower in Zentrum, Chemnitz, Germany
The Hoher Turm rises 35 meters into the sky as part of St. Jakobi Church, featuring an octagonal upper section and a distinctive spire.
Constructed in the 12th century as an observation and residential tower, the structure served multiple functions including jurisdiction and fire watch duties.
The tower represents a fusion of religious and municipal functions, housing both church bells and administrative offices of the city government.
Visitors can access the tower through guided tours, which include information about its reconstruction after World War II damage and current functions.
The tower's lower levels contain municipal administrative facilities while its upper section maintains the bells of St. Jakobi Church.
