Hiking

The fortified tower is part of the old fortifications of the fortified church. (Großsachsenheim did not have a complete city wall.) Until about 1962, it was used as the local jail.

Hiking

Großsachsenheim did not have a city wall, but a fortified church. To protect them, a wall with a defensive tower was built around the church. The defense tower served as a local prison until 1962.
