    The Franke Tower (also Franke Turm or English Franke Tower) is a military monument in Omaruru in Namibia and has been a national monument of the country since August 1, 1964. The tower was inaugurated on February 4, 1908 to commemorate the relief of Omaruru by Victor Franke exactly four years earlier.

    The key to access the Franke Tower is available at the office of the Omaruru Museum on the main street (Wilhelm-Zeraua-Straße).
