    Chic old defense tower in the Fahrner heights.

    The tower, built from limestone quarry stone and originally 18 metres high, has been part of the outer fortification system of the city of Erfurt since the late Middle Ages. From here you have a beautiful view of the surrounding area of Erfurt.

    This once 18 m high watchtower, also called Uffhusen waiting, was built in 1411 as one of 16 guard warehouses around Erfurt and served the Wartknecht and his family as an apartment. The tower has a square plan with 4.65 m side length. Its current height is about 6 m.
