Otzberg Fortress

The keep, popularly known as white turnip or sauerkraut barrel, is the oldest building of Veste Otzberg. The round brick 17 m high tower has a diameter of 10 m below, at a height of around 2 m it tapers to 9.6 m. At a height of 15.5 m there is an all-round cantilever made of sandstone to keep rainwater running away from the tower. On beautiful days you can look out over the entire Darmstadt-Dieburg district to Frankfurt am Main and the Taunus from the 15.9 m high viewing platform of the Weißen Rübe.

Unfortunately, the festivals and the museum cannot be visited at the moment. Only the tower is open now and then.

Great view after an interesting tour through the beautiful streets with all the old photo signs from the Association for Landscape and Historic Preservation
