Hinkelsturm, Medieval defense tower in Darmstadt, Germany.
The Hinkelsturm stretches 16 meters into the sky as a stone tower with three internal floors connected by narrow staircases.
Built in the 14th century as part of Darmstadt's fortification walls, the tower received substantial repairs in 1952 following damage from World War II.
The building houses the Old Town Museum, displaying a detailed 1:160 scale model of Darmstadt's former medieval district and its narrow streets.
The museum opens exclusively on Saturdays and Sundays between April and October, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, with private tours available by appointment.
The structure received a seven-meter-high steel ring crown with a roof during renovations between 1994 and 1997, altering its original appearance.
