Their names show the range of themes represented by the local landmarks: the school, houses, mill and church stand alongside the Wachtelturm as a lookout point.

Local History Museum and Wachtelturm

The Local History Museum is on the upper floor of the former town hall and displays views of the town, postcards and photographs. These three forms of visual representation focus on Hennickendorf itself. If you are planning a museum visit, check the opening arrangements in advance, as they may change.

The Wachtelturm offers a different focus: it is 28 metres high, and the climb involves 96 steps. From the top, there are far-reaching views, including towards Berlin in clear weather. The number of steps is a specific factor to consider when planning; visibility towards Berlin, on the other hand, depends on the weather. Visitor access depends on the schedule, so you should check it before your visit.
