Wartbergturm, Observation tower in Alzey, Germany
The stone Wartbergturm reaches a height of 28.15 meters and stands at an elevation of 275 meters above sea level in Rhineland-Palatinate.
First documented in 1420 as a military observation post, the tower underwent multiple reconstructions after destructions during conflicts, including the Thirty Years War.
The tower functions as a central point for outdoor activities, connecting various hiking trails through the Rheinhessisches Hügelland region.
Visitors need to climb 115 steps on a spiral staircase to reach the observation platform, which offers views toward Frankfurt on clear days.
During World War II, American bomber pilots spared Alzey from bombardment after mistaking the Wartbergturm for a church steeple in January 1945.
