Tips

Steffen

June 14, 2025

The tower was built between May 29 and September 1, 1902, in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The building stones came primarily from the Königsberg quarry near Schierke. In 1992, the 12-meter-high tower was completely renovated and reopened to the public.

The view from the tower extends across the northern Harz Mountains up to the Brocken, the Büchenberg, and the Harburg. The view of Wernigerode and Wernigerode Castle is particularly striking.

Since 2014, the Kaiserturm (Rapunzel Tower) has been the terminus of the Wernigerode Fairytale Trail, which runs from the Hasseröder Holiday Park to the Armeleutepark.
