He has not yet found a place in Wikipedia's list of the most crooked towers in Germany, but in the rankings there he would quickly find himself in the top places. With angles of inclination of up to 5.38 degrees, the leaning tower in Gau-Weinheim is to Rheinhessen what Pisa's Campanile is to Italy: a landmark of the wine-growing community at the foot of the Wißberg.

The Record Institute for Germany (RID) has confirmed: The village bell tower in Gau-Weinheim is the crookedest - in the whole world. There was a certificate for this on Sunday.
The leaning tower of Gau-Weinheim (Alzey-Worms district) has history. The medieval building was initially a defensive tower, then in 1749 it was converted into a bell tower. Now the tower is a certified record holder.
Due to its inclination of 5.4277 degrees, it is even more leaning than a tower from Suurhusen in East Frisia - which only has an inclination angle of 5.19 degrees, according to the Record Institute for Germany (RID). A measurement in July had already confirmed the inclination of the tower next to a church.
