Burgholzhof-Turm

Burgholzhof-Turm rises in Stuttgart’s Burgholzhof district, at 359 metres above sea level. Its Roman-inspired form gives you views across eastern Stuttgart, Bad Cannstatt, and the Neckar valley towards Esslingen am Neckar.

Friedrich Keppler, Cannstatt’s municipal architect, built the tower in 1891 for the Verschönerungsverein Cannstatt. During the Second World War, anti-aircraft spotters watched Allied bomber formations from here. Pro Alt-Cannstatt restored the structure in 1987 and 1988, preserving its role as a public lookout. A military point-to-point radio tower stands just north, while Burgi represents the neighbouring Burgholzhof community.
