    The Thurauer tower was long time as a BW base and was used to listen to the radio networks of the Eastern Bloc. Today the tower civil is used. A great view over the Wendland. The bench and the table can be used as a break.

    The Thurauer tower is the former telecommunications sector tower B of the Bundeswehr. Built in 1961, 90m high and decommissioned in 1994. It is visible on the Thurauer Berg and thus forms a landmark in the Wendland.

    The nearby Thurauer Berg offers great views of the surrounding landscape. There you will also find the 90 meter high Thurauer tower, the former Aufklärungsturm B of the Bundeswehr, which makes the location of several kilometers away localizable. The Luftwaffe and Army soldiers working on the tower were housed in the Neu Tramm barracks.

    The name Thurau goes back to the Polabian expression for aurochs.
    On July 1, 1972 Thurau was incorporated into the community Woltersdorf.
