    One of the 11 medieval field watchtowers in the city of Quedlinburg. The field watchtowers were built around 1300 to guard the Quedlinburg fields.
    The exact location and type of building are not known. It is also not known when the watchtower, known from a few entries in the Quedlinburg city council accounts, was demolished.
