    As the Hexenturm is right next to the Schlossgarage (chargeable multi-storey car park), it is an excellent starting point for exploring "Bad Homburg vor der Höhe".

    The Witches' Tower (actually: Hessenturm) from the 14th century was part of Bad Homburg's city fortifications. The tower that remains today is a reconstruction that was built at the beginning of the 19th century in connection with the construction of the
    Ritter-von-Marx Bridge. The bridge, built between 1903 and 1905, spans the old town. The tower and a corresponding "bridge keeper's house" closed off the castle square and created an entrance to the city center.

    There are basically two towers in Bsd Homburg with the name “Witches’ Tower”. The “actual Witches’ Tower” is located in the middle of the old town. The other Witches’ Tower is located on the Schlossplatz at the “Ritter-von-Marx-Brücke” with the “guard building”.
