Vogelturm Dahme (Mark)

The bird tower in Dahme (Mark) is the last remaining and preserved building from the two former city gates. Although it burned down in 1563, it was restored in 1893. The tower probably got its name from the many nests of birds that used the then ruins as a breeding ground between the 16th and 19th centuries.

The "Jüterboger Gate Tower" is the only preserved tower of the original two city gates. It was rebuilt in 1892 after a fire and served for a long time as a "breeding paradise" for birds, which ultimately led to the naming.

The bird tower is the remainder of the former Jüterboger gate of the city of Dahme. After the fire of 1563 it remained a ruin until the reconstruction in 1893. It was used for 330 years as a breeding ground of various bird species for undisturbed breeding, hence its name.
