Twister Permitte (pyramid). Cozy place for a rest 🥪🥤

Schützengilde 1539 Twiste

November 21, 2022

The monument that Prince Friedrich had erected at the height of the Trappenberg proves that once the road over the Trappenberg was completed, it was believed that a gigantic work had been carried out. This four-sided obelisk, which is still in good condition today, is still popularly called Permitte (pyramid).

Only very occasionally in Germany do we find old military road pillars as the last stone witnesses, which were first mentioned in a document in 1578. The Waldecker Land can be proud of having saved another such pillar as a cultural monument of past centuries from now to our time. It stands as a 4.56 m high four-sided obelisk on a profiled sandstone base block - at the height of the Trappenberg near Twiste. The deeply carved inscriptions are still legible; only the hand cut from sheet iron, which was once attached to the tip of the old signpost that is under monument protection, is missing.
May this last silent witness be a herald of past times to future generations.
