Lueg ins Land

The Lueg ins Land watchtower measured 5 meters at its base and reached 20 meters in height, featuring stone walls and a wooden upper section.

Constructed between 1330 and 1337, the watchtower served as a crucial observation point along Munich's second city wall for monitoring approaches from the Isar River.

The name Lueg ins Land, meaning 'look into the land' in German, reflects the tower's function as a surveillance point for the medieval city of Munich.

Modern visitors can locate the tower's former position through red paving stones on the ground outside Vindelikerhaus, near the intersection of Marienstraße and Tal.

The northern wall of the original structure remains integrated into the southern section of Vindelikerhaus, with an arrow slit still visible in the stonework.
