It still exists today and impresses with its distinctly Gothic style. Bockenheimer Warte is a Bockenheim landmark, although it is – albeit slightly – in the Westend district.
The square of the same name forms the western end of Bockenheimer Landstrasse. This is where the former cafeteria of the University of Bockenheim campus, the Johann Christian Senckenberg University Library and the Bockenheimer depot, a former tram depot and now theater venue, are located. One of Frankfurt’s weekly market takes place right at the foot of the Wartturm on Thursdays. The watchtower is not open to the public. At the foot there is an ice cream parlor and a kiosk.
Immediately to the west of the tower it lasted until 1866 between the Free Imperial City or the Free City of Frankfurt on the one hand and the city of Bockenheim on the other, belonging to different states, the last of which was the Electorate of Hesse. The task of the control room was to protect the trade route to Cologne (Bockenheimer Landstraße, Leipziger Straße, then Frankfurter Straße), as a border crossing point, as well as early detection of approaching enemies. Of the previous Landwehr installations, only the actual tower remained in this area. The accompanying defensive arena, as well as trenches and fortifications, disappeared.
