The Leaning Tower of the World - Gau-Weinheim Bell Tower

The main sight of the village is the "Leaning Tower of Gau-Weinheim", whose leaning position has been handed down since time immemorial. The listed square tower of Gau-Weinheim is a medieval fortified tower of the former cemetery fortifications. Since its renovation in 1991, the bells ring again at 11 a.m., 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. for the traditional civic peal. According to a new measurement of 15 July 2022, "The Leaning Tower" of Gau-Weinheim has an inclination of 5.4277°. This broke the record previously held by the tower of Suurhusen - the tower in Suurhusen has an inclination of only 5.19°. The tower in Gau-Weinheim, located in the middle of Rheinhessen, is thus significantly more inclined than the one in Pisa". At 5.4277°, it is even more crooked than the tower of Suurhusen, (5.19°) listed in the GWR (Guinness World Records) and RID (Rekord Institute for Germany). Its angle of inclination even surpasses that of Pisa Campanile in Italy, which has only 3.97°. Obergasse 4, 55578 Gau-Weinheim Open to the public
