Culture and Notable Sights


Buildings

The Eulenkopfturm (English: "Eulenkopf Tower") has long been known as the symbol of the community and is visible for kilometers thanks to its prominent location above the town. Originally designed as a watch tower, construction on the ca. 19 meter tall tower began on August 24, 1913 and the building was dedicated on 1914. A local society, the Eulenkopfverein, has maintained the building since its construction till the present. It has been renovated twice: from 1951-1952 and 1991-1992. In addition to the 12.2 meter-high viewing platform that offers visitors sweeping views of the Palatinate Forest towards the southeast, the tower's ground floor houses the highest Standesamt in the Palatinate.
