The Reichenbach Tower is a preserved part of the western city fortifications of Görlitz. At 51 meters, it is the tallest of the city's three surviving watchtowers and defense towers (the other two are the Nikolaiturm and the Dicke Turm). Only the town hall tower towers over it with a height of 63 meters.
