Plea to save German "leaning tower"


Preservation of the tower, constructed in the 13th century, is expected to cost EU€1 million (US$1.3 million), a sum which might be collected by a combination of fundraising and a donation of EU€150,000 from the Protestant Church in Central Germany (EKM), the money set aside for the demolition. Residents of the town are hopeful funds can be raised.
