The tower is still partially scaffolded, but can be climbed again. From above you have a magnificent view of Osnabrück. 👍

The Varus Tower is a 21 m high observation tower built as a reinforced concrete structure on the Lammersbrink on the southern border of Georgsmarienhütte in Lower Saxony.

The observation tower was built in 1975 by the then Möller company on behalf of the city of Georgsmarienhütte. The new tower replaced the lookout tower built in the same place in 1892 by the Georgsmarien-Verein AG, which, however, had to be blown up again in August 1935 because it was dilapidated. The Varus Tower was named after the Roman military leader Varus, who in 9 AD led his troops in the area of the Teutoburg Forest to a crushing defeat against those of the Germanic general Arminius (Hermann).
