    With an overhang of 4.6 meters, it is even one meter more inclined than the Leaning Tower in Pisa. Hard to believe! Looks crazy when you stand in front of it.

      In contrast, everything is in order in Pisa.

      In 1908, 500 m from the church, a rupture occurred due to the leaching of near-surface gypsum horizons with the formation of a sinkhole. This event began a rapid tilting of the church, caused by the strong subsidence of masses of earth and the disruption of the water drainage in the immediate vicinity. Another instability is the Elisabeth spring, a spring of medicinal water that has been known since the Middle Ages and which emerges from the ground in the immediate vicinity of the church. The church was closed in 1908 out of concern for the safety of churchgoers.
      Today the top of the tower is 4.60 meters off the vertical.

        A highlight in the region around the Kyffhäuser, it is secured with heavy equipment.
