Gauss Tower

The Gauss Tower is a reinforced concrete observation tower on the summit of the High Hagens in Dransfeld, Germany. The tower can be reached directly by car. A restaurant with a panoramic view is located inside the tower.

The tower is named for Carl Friedrich Gauss, who made the large triangle from the Hohen Hagen break into Inselsberg a basis of his survey of Hanover.

From 1909 to 1963, there had already been a Gaussturm nearby. It broke when a quarry was expanded too far in the 1950s.
