The 36 meter high tower, still a landmark of the city of Geislingen, was built around 1400 to protect the lower-lying Helfenstein Castle. After the castle was razed in 1552, the Ödenturm remained. Today it serves as a lookout tower.

Open on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The tower room, which houses a small exhibition, can be climbed from May to October.

Exposed location in front of the Ödenturm to have the best view of Geislingen and Helfenstein Castle.

The Ödenturm is mentioned for the first time in the 14th century... It used to have a bell that was rung in case of danger. As a landmark of Geislingen, new lighting was donated in 2021 so that it can tower over Geislingen illuminated at night.
