Facts and practical information

The Druselturm is a remnant of Kassel's former city fortifications, which were demolished between 1767 and 1774. The 44-meter-high round tower stands in the city center on Druselplatz, part of Hedwigstraße. It is one of the few preserved medieval structures in Kassel. The course of the former city wall is marked by colored paving along Hedwigstraße. Along with the Zwehrenturm, it is the last tower of Kassel's city fortifications.
