Tips

The two gun towers of the fortress, built in 1528, originally had tiled conical roofs. In 1827 these were demolished and replaced with flat roofs; cannons were later positioned here.

During the partial demolition of the castle as a result of the urban defensification decreed in 1873, the moat was also filled in, which is why 8 meters of the towers disappeared into the ground. The tower, which is now 15 meters high on the southern slope, was converted into a viewing tower for visitors in 1935. During the Second World War, the round buildings again served military purposes as anti-aircraft towers.

There is no extra entrance fee and the climb is rewarded with a fantastic view over the whole of Erfurt.

The climb is worth it. From above you can not only see the Ega, but also Erfurt and its striking cathedral.
