Lugturm, Observation tower and heritage monument in Heidenau, Germany.

Lugturm is an observation tower and heritage monument in Heidenau, located at the intersection of Lockwitzer Straße and Höhenweg. From its elevated position, it offers views across the surrounding area and toward the Sächsische Schweiz region.

The Niedersedlitz section of the Gebirgsverein für die Sächsische Schweiz initiated the tower; construction began in May 1880, it was completed in July and consecrated on 18 August 1880. A shelter hall was built beside it the same year, licensed to serve drinks from 1881, and the association bought the Lugberg plot in 1898. The tower closed in 1938 due to structural decay.

The tower is named after the nearby village of Luga, now a Dresden district, not a river. The Lugschänke inn at Lockwitzer Straße and Grenzstraße, documented since the 14th century, was renamed "Berghof Klein München" under Nazi rule and demolished in the mid-1990s. Since 2023 the tenant family has run a small sales hut beside the tower.

The tower is easily reached by public transport, including Bus 65 and S-Bahn lines S1 and S2, which stop near Luga station. Visitors should aim to come on clear days to enjoy the best views from the top.

The tower is often attributed to Dresden's Luga district, although it stands on Gommern land in Heidenau. The nearby Lugschänke inn, documented since the 14th century, was renamed "Berghof Klein München" under Nazi rule and later served as an apprentice dormitory for the Heidenauer Elbtalwerke before demolition in the mid-1990s.
