The Red Tower is part of the historic city fortifications of the city of Luckau and characterizes the Luckau cityscape.

The tower, which is 30 meters high today, was part of the Calau Gate in the direction of the town of Calau. The tower was built at the end of the 13th and beginning of the 14th century[1] and has been increased several times over the years. His current Italian hood was created in 1871.

The base of the round brick tower has a diameter of 8 m and a wall thickness of 2.50 m. The facade is unstructured. Due to its original function as a defense tower, access to the tower is on the city side at a height of 6.90 meters above the level of today's sidewalk. Extensive renovation work was carried out in 1992 and 1993.

On June 4, 1813, allied Prussian and Russian troops defeated French occupation troops on the area in front of the tower, which prevented their advance on Berlin. A plaque on the tower commemorates this event.
