One of the sights in Halle. It is especially nice when the carillon plays melodies.

The 84 m high tower was built in late gothic style from 1418- 1506. It was the tallest building in the city in the Middle Ages. Destroyed in World War II, it was completely rebuilt in 1976. Striking is the Roland figure at the foot of the tower, which is back in its original place since 2006.

The Red Tower got its name because the so-called blood courts were held at its feet in the Middle Ages.

The Red Tower stands proud and mighty on the market square. At 84 meters high, it towers over the buildings in the city centre. A popular motif for painters for centuries, for the people of Halle a landmark of their city: together with the four towers of the market church, the Red Tower forms the famous "Five Towers".

Its bells not only ring in time. They also reveal the number of newborn children in Halle every day and give them a fitting reception with the “Hallelujah” from Handel's Messiah. Carillon concerts with regional and international musicians take place regularly. Some of them learned to play the glockenspiel on this instrument. With 76 bells, it is the largest instrument in Europe.

The carillon of the Red Tower is the largest in Europe with 76 bells. When the clock strikes, five bells are added, which ring on the strike of Westminster - based on a melody sequence from the Messiah oratorio composed by Georg Friedrich Handel.

The red tower is part of the landmark of the city of Halle (Saale). It forms this together with the four towers of the Marktkirche Our Dear Women. Because of the striking silhouette of these two buildings, Halle is often referred to as the city of five towers. The tower burned down on April 16, 1945 by artillery fire and lost its characteristic tower spire. Except for the tower renovation, it was restored.

One of the most distinctive landmarks of Halle is the third tower in connection with the four towers of the market church 🏙️
Many 😅 argue about the origin of the name
Today the Red Tower is illuminated in red at night and during the day there are sometimes concerts at the carillon in the tower 🎶
