You're standing at the Bergfried of the Marienberg Fortress, known as the Uhrturm. This architectural heritage monument in Bavaria is a key part of the fortress's history.

These landmarks help illustrate the historical significance of the fortress. The proximity to the Wolfskeelschen Ringmauer, only 26 meters southwest, highlights the strategic position of the Bergfried.
