About the Leaning Tower of Suurhusen
The Leaning Tower of Suurhusen is a late medieval brick steeple in the village of Suurhusen, in northwestern Germany's East Frisian region. The tower leans at 5.19°, compared with 3.97° for the Leaning Tower of Pisa after it was stabilized. Guinness World Records once named it the world's most tilted tower, though towers built to lean on purpose, such as the Montreal Tower, tilt farther.
The Brick Gothic church looks like the old fortress churches of the area. Its original footprint measured 32 m (105 ft) in length, with a width of 9.35 m (30.7 ft). In 1450 about a quarter of the church was removed, and the steeple rose in the gap. Oak piles support it in marshy ground; drainage work in the 19th century let the wood rot, and the tower began to lean. The steeple closed to visitors in 1975 for safety reasons and reopened 10 years later after being stabilized.
The steeple reaches 27.37 m (89.8 ft) and leans out by 2.47 m (8.1 ft). Its 2-meter-thick foundation rests on oak piles, and the structure weighs 2,116 t, or 2,332 short tons. The tower covers 121 square meters (1,300 sq ft) on a square plan measuring 11 m (36 ft) on each side.
