The Observation Tower at Goetzinger's Height is a 25-metre observation tower on Goetzinger's Height (Götzingerhöhe), a small mountain near Neustadt in Sachsen, Germany, named after Wilhelm Leberecht Götzinger. Built in 1883 together with an inn nearby, it is one of the oldest lattice towers in the world and predates the Eiffel Tower. It was renovated in 1992, and its views take in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains, the Ore Mountains and the Lusatian Highlands.
