Watchtower "in the bath garden" of the historical city wall of Osterode at the resin, in order to guarantee the security of its settlement, the Osteroder built with great effort this wall. Since the year 1233 it is mentioned in a document. The length of the city wall is around 1.7km and can be explored on foot. There is plenty of history to discover for all ages, all along the way!

This is a renovated section of the city wall.

The wall around the historic city center was completed in 1330.

At that time the bulwark was 1700 m long and had 4 gates and 10 towers.

The wall is made of soy pebbles and gypsum mortar.

Large parts of the city fortifications are still preserved today.
