history
The Paderborn field mark was probably protected by a Landwehr with guard towers since the 14th century. To the east of the city center stood the Haxter Warte and the Pamelsche Warte. The Pamelschen Warte was a round, three-storey tower in Gothic construction with loopholes. The tower was surrounded by a curtain wall, around it a wall.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, only the two above-mentioned of the at least seven waiting towers remained. In the run-up to the Second World War , a training area for the Wehrmacht was built at the Pamelschen Warte and the tower was rebuilt as an observation tower. Towards the end of the war, however, the tower was to give way to an alternative airfield. First the Haxter Warte was mistakenly blown up, then the Pamelsche Warte also fell. After the war, the British army set up a on-site training area one. While the Haxter Warte was rebuilt in 1986, only remnants of the curtain wall are visible from the Pamelschen Warte on the edge of the restricted military area.
