Annaturm Tower

Annaturm Tower stands at the highest point of Mount Bröhn (405 m), which is part of the Deister Massif. The construction was initiated in 1820 by one of the greatest mathematicians in history, Friedrich Gauss. From the top of the tower, he performed trigonometric measurements.

Throughout history, the tower has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. The current one, already the sixth, was built in 1982 specifically for tourists. Therefore a little restaurant was attached. The tower is open from Tuesday to Friday from 10 to 17. On Saturday, Sunday and holidays from 10 to 18.




On the way there is a German air traffic control radar station.
