One of the typical waiting towers for the area. It was previously used to monitor the region. In this way you could warn of approaching enemy troops in good time. Around the tower there are some works of art on the topics of reunification and environmental pollution

The 11.6 m high watchtower is, like most other watchtowers in the area, a tower made of fieldstone. It is accessible and widened in the upper part. A steel spiral staircase leads to a 10.4 m high viewing platform, which is surrounded by a parapet with battlements. Parts of the Berlin Wall have been erected near the tower. There are also art objects by Jimmy Fell, such as a blue glass sculpture that is intended to commemorate the fallen of the First World War, or two "gates" made of steel and glass with the addition "We are the people" (Wikipedia)

Square at the Fat Tower - The square at the Fat Tower (Turmstrasse) became famous far beyond the Niederlauer municipal boundaries thanks to the earlier solstice fires with actions by the Niederlauer artist Herbert "Jimmy" Fell. The area is still a popular place to linger and relax. Anyone who climbs the 11.6 meter high tower can look far beyond Niederlauer into the Lauer and Saale valleys and into the surrounding towns. The square at the Fat Tower can be rented for celebrations. Recently, couples have also been able to say "I do" there, as the area is officially designated as a wedding venue. (Info Niederlauer)
