The clock tower of Oppenheim in Rheinhessen in Rhineland-Palatinate is a stone clock tower built in 1843/44 in the Neo-Gothic style, which is a good 31 meters high. The tower clock from 1907 shows the half and full hours with a chime.
table of contents
The Oppenheim clock tower was built in 1843/44 on the remains of an earlier defense tower of the medieval city fortifications - the so-called customs tower or white tower. Over the decades, the tower has not only had the task of providing information about the time of day. In the meantime, the tower also served as an observation point to warn of fires or floods, as a hose tower for the fire brigade and as a municipal detention cell. The first clock built into the tower was replaced in 1907 by a new one from the J. F. Weule company in Bockenem in Ambergau, which still works.

Something medieval flair exudes this old tower.

A beautiful tower that immediately catches your eye. According to my research, it has served a variety of purposes in the past.
- mainly to indicate the time of day using the clock face and the chime of the bell
- the fire brigade used it as an observation platform (in the event of imminent flooding), as an alarm station and to pass on signals and
- as a drying room for fire hoses.
