The market tower in its original Romanesque / early Gothic substance and only 19 m high was probably built as a customs tower. After the monks from Zinna came into possession of Luckenwalde (1285), the tower was raised (monastery format tiles) and has been used as the bell tower of St. John's Church since 1484. Inside the market tower, a wooden structure to which the bells are attached extends up to the bell storey. The tower was not given its baroque dome until 1730. Unfortunately, there are some documentary records of its construction and its intended function.

The market tower

Romanesque / early Gothic in its original substance, has been used as the bell tower of St. John's Church since 1484. The high rectangular shaft of the tower is walled with uncut field stones.

Luckenwalde (Łukowc in Lower Sorbian) is the district town of the Teltow-Fläming district and is located about 50 kilometers south of Berlin. North of Luckenwalde lies Trebbin, south Jüterbog, east Baruth / Mark and west Treuenbrietzen.

The first documentary mention of the castle complex as Lukenwolde dates back to December 28, 1216, when the Brandenburg Bishop Siegfried II confirmed his archdeaconate rights to the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter when he took office. It formed the center of a Burgward district. The market tower, which still exists today, was part of that castle complex.
