The farthest leaning tower of the world is in Gau-Weinheim
The main sight of the village is the "Farthest 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

The farthest leaning tower of the world is not in Pisa
Leaning Garisenda Tower: Bologna fears for landmarks: The whole world is afraid that the
Garisenda Tower in Bologna will collapse, but there is no need to worry: There are leaning towers in Germany
too, namely the twice-awarded "Farthest leaning Tower in the
World" in Gau-Weinheim. The Gau-Weinheim defense tower was
renovated in 1991 and will still be standing in 100 years. Even the international press reports about it. More
