Pinkenburg, Historic building in Buchholz-Kleefeld, Germany
The Pinkenburg structure stands at the intersection of Pinkenburger Street and Pinkenburger Gang in the eastern district of Hannover.
The building originated in 1341 as a watchtower of the Hanoverian Landwehr, serving as a strategic checkpoint during the War of Lüneburg Succession.
The name Pinkenburg derives from the sound of metal rods being struck to signal attacks, with the noise termed pinken in medieval German.
The structure functioned as the only tavern in Gross-Buchholz until 1865, later operating as a restaurant through multiple ownership changes until 2017.
The building marked the sole bridge crossing over the Schiffgraben canal for several kilometers during the medieval fortification period.
