Since 1919, after the abdication of the emperor, it has been popularly known as the Bielerturm – like the area of the Buchberg on which it was built. At the end of the Second World War, the inner staircase burned down. It was renewed in 1964 with a 60-step staircase. Understandably, the tower is not always open for security reasons. But for the annual Buchberg Festival, those who are interested can climb the tower and enjoy the magnificent view of the tower to the west. Special dates can be arranged through the Orlamünder Heimatverein.

So the Bielerturm is a hidden tower above Orlamünde. A bit like a Rapunzel tower. You could shoot a movie there. With the standard bike there: no easy task. You can also plan to push over the steep section and curse about it.
