In G\u00f6rlitz you can find some remains of the historic city fortifications. We were particularly interested in the towers and so we explored the “Dicken Turm” during our tower tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Today, the Dicke Turm or Frauenturm stands in the middle of the city on Marienplatz. Many years ago, it was one of four watch and defence towers in G\u00f6rlitz. The tower received its name from the people of G\u00f6rlitz because of its solidity and thick walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
