Stamp of the “Quedlinburg booklet” of the Harz hiking pin. A small viewing platform at the former waiting area can be walked on.

Only visible as a ruin hill in the area, remains of foundations exposed to a depth of 1.50 m in 2019, documented and covered again

Former round tower made of sandstone blocks of the Leth Tower type

Outside diameter approx. 5.10 m

Wall thicknesses probably 1.00 - 1.20 m

In the lower area fully bricked up to a height of 2 - 3 m, probably to protect against attacks with a battering ram

Entrance presumably at a height of 7 m on the side facing the city

Earlier height probably 16-18 m

There was a direct line of sight to the watchtower on the south tower of the Marktkirche.

As of June 2020, the route is unfortunately only a dead end.
