Demolition of the observation tower at the Goethestein in Frauenstein
In January 2024, the ageing observation tower was closed after an expert determined that there was an acute risk of collapse. Repairs are no longer possible.
In recent years, there have been repeated attempts to renovate the wooden structure.
After extensive inspections, the demolition of the observation tower has now been approved for Friday, February 28. The tower will be deliberately brought down by blasting in the direction of fall and then professionally dismantled and disposed of.
