    Only selected and reliable "comrades", ie officers, were sure to come here. As it looks, you can climb the tower at your own risk, which I also u. to make. It must be said, however, that the tower is built very robust u. if you are free from giddiness, it works too. From the top you dan with a beautiful view of the A2, GÜST u. current resting place Hlmstedt East rewarded.
