tower - the bergfried at Rheinfels Castle, 1607</figcaption></figure> <p>A <b>butter-churn tower</b> (<a href="/wiki/German_language" title="German language">German</a>: <i lang="de">Butterfassturm</i>) is a two-part <a href="/wiki/Defensive_tower" class="mw-redirect" title="Defensive tower">defensive tower</a> in which the upper section has a smaller width than the lower section. </p><p>This design provides a ledge or <a href="/wiki/Fighting_platform" title="Fighting platform">fighting platform</a> about half-way up that acts as a <a href="/wiki/Chemin_de_ronde" title="Chemin de ronde">chemin de ronde</a> whilst the narrower tower that rises from this platform acts as a raised observation point. The two sections of the tower are usually cylindrical, but in rarer cases butter-churn towers may have a square plan. Its name derives from its shape which is similar to that of an upright <a href="/wiki/Butter_churn" title="Butter churn">butter churn</a>: a cylindrical container with a shorter, narrower top section. </p><p>The design appeared in the 14th century, being especially employed for the <a href="/wiki/Bergfried" title="Bergfried">bergfriede</a> of <a href="/wiki/Castle" title="Castle">castles</a> in Europe, but also for <a href="/wiki/Wall_tower" class="mw-redirect" title="Wall tower">wall towers</a> or <a href="/wiki/Watch_tower" class="mw-redirect" title="Watch tower">watch towers</a> on <a href="/wiki/City_wall" class="mw-redirect" title="City wall">city walls</a>. Its fighting or defensive value was not much greater than ordinary defensive towers, but it offered better observation over a greater distance. The construction of butter-churn towers may have been more symbolic than strategic. </p><p>In the late Middle Ages many butter-churn towers were erected in the <a href="/wiki/Middle_Rhine" title="Middle Rhine">Middle Rhine</a>-South Hesse-<a href="/wiki/Taunus" title="Taunus">Taunus</a> region. Examples include those in <a href="/wiki/Bad_Homburg_vor_der_H%C3%B6he" class="mw-redirect" title="Bad Homburg vor der Höhe">Bad Homburg</a> (the White Tower), <a href="/wiki/Friedberg_(Hesse)" class="mw-redirect" title="Friedberg (Hesse)">Friedberg</a> (the <i>Adolfsturm</i>), <a href="/wiki/Idstein" title="Idstein">Idstein</a> (the <a href="/wiki/Witches%27_Tower" class="mw-redirect" title="Witches' Tower">Witches' Tower</a> and the bergfried of <a href="/wiki/Idstein_Castle" title="Idstein Castle">Idstein Castle</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Oberwesel" title="Oberwesel">Oberwesel</a> (the "Oxen Tower"). The <a href="/wiki/Marksburg" title="Marksburg">Marksburg</a> above <a href="/wiki/Braubach" title="Braubach">Braubach</a> am Rhein had a square bergfried to which was added a small butter-churn turret in 1468. This burned down in 1705 and was replaced in 1905. </p><p>One of the tallest towers is the 56 metres (184 ft) high <a href="/wiki/Round_Tower,_Andernach" title="Round Tower, Andernach">Round Tower</a>, the symbol of the town of <a href="/wiki/Andernach" title="Andernach">Andernach</a>, which dates to 1453 and has an unusual variation: an octagonal upper turret with a stone gable roof. The highest bergfried of a hill castle with a butter-churn top (1370) was that of <a href="/wiki/Rheinfels_Castle" title="Rheinfels Castle">Rheinfels Castle</a> above <a href="/wiki/Sankt_Goar" title="Sankt Goar">Sankt Goar</a> am Rhein which was 54 metres (177 ft) high at the intermediate platform, but was destroyed in 1797. The third-highest surviving bergfried in Germany is at the <a href="/wiki/Osterburg_(Weida)" title="Osterburg (Weida)">Osterburg</a> near <a href="/wiki/Weida,_Thuringia" title="Weida, Thuringia">Weida</a> in <a href="/wiki/Thuringia" title="Thuringia">Thuringia</a>; it is 53 metres (174 ft) high and also designed as a butter-churn tower. It is also one of the oldest surviving bergfrieds, dating to 1193. It measures 24 metres (79 ft) to the platform and has an octagonal, stone <a href="/wiki/Conical_roof" title="Conical roof">conical roof</a> dating to the 15th century. </p> <div class="mw-heading
