Guided Story
Standing here at the Kuhturm Memorial Stone, you're at a place that whispers of history. This stone marks where the Kuhturm once stood, a part of the old Kuhburg. From 1531, the tower served as the forester's seat. In October 1813, this area saw intense fighting. Turn southeast, and just 77 meters away, you'll find the Edible Palm Garden. The tower itself stood until 1938 on what was the Frankfurter Chaussee. This marker invites reflection on the rich tapestry of events that unfolded here.
