Witch Hunt and Tower Bucksturm in Osnabrück

Bucksturm watchtower was built at the beginning of theXIII century as part of the city walls. The tower was originally 28m high.According to legend, the tower was crowned with a design resembling the head ofa goat. But in 1805 the top 10 meters were demolished due to disrepair. Sincethen, 4 floors have remained in the tower. The small loopholes talk about thefact that the people could only shoot from a bow, crossbow or a gun from here.

In the MiddleAges Bucksturm tower started to be used as a prison, and in the XVI-XVIIcenturies it became a place of torture for women accused of witchcraft. Now thetower houses an exhibition dedicated to the witch-hunt. On the west wall of thetower you can see a stone figure of a soldier. This memorial was added in 1822.
