GEHRDEN cancellation as featured in the Bochmann catalogues (1952)

The cancellation depicts The Burgberg tower. It was built in 1897/1898. It measures a height of 20.56 m. The viewing platform is 176.69 m above sea level and, on a clear day, allows a wonderful panoramic view of the Calenberger Land all the way to the Steinhuder Meer. Today only the tower remains. The tower was restored by the city of Gehrden in 1985 as a viewing tower.
