The Alms Tower is the most beautiful tower designed by the fortress builder Wolze Spede 14th/15th century The name of the tower is reminiscent of the Alms Foundation, an early social urban institution to support innocently impoverished fellow citizens.

Access closed to pedestrians from the parking lot side.. open from the sun terrace.. does that make sense?

The alms tower (22.50 m high, area approx. 5.40 x 5.40 m) stands on the south-east corner of the city fortifications and borders on the Mühlbach, which has since been abandoned. It is the most beautiful tower by the master builder Wolze Spede and is considered the symbol of the city. The alms tower actually consists of two towers placed one on top of the other. The lower tower has rougher corner ashlars in the lower part than in its later elevation. It has three floors, is 16.40 m high and ends with a crenellated wreath on a round arch frieze. At its corners there are gargoyles designed as animal mouths. The 8.10 m high, smaller upper tower (basic area 3.60 x 3.60 m) sitting on the lower tower was built later (probably around 1550) and also ends with a crenellated crown of battlements. This construction method resulted in a recess in the tower, which was used as a surrounding battlement, while the tower above it served as a raised lookout. The main reason for erecting such mostly round towers, known as churn towers, was therefore probably less of a strategic and more of a symbolic nature. In Obernburg, a square shape was chosen on the side of the city facing the Main.

The Almsenturm stands on the edge of the historic old town of Obernburg. One should take the time and visit the Roman Museum nearby

It's finally open again

The tower as a landmark of Obernburg refers to the social idea, according to which people who are in need through no fault of their own should be given help.

Very beautiful castle in the middle of the vineyards on the Main. Great hiking trails and views

Beautifully located, well-preserved and well-kept castle. Absolutely worth seeing. There is beer for the grown-ups and the little ones enjoy the slide. www.burg-breuberg.de and www.schloesser-hessen.de/de/burg-breuberg
