This stone observation tower is not part of the town's old fortifications, though it certainly looks of a piece with the remaining medieval-era towers: named and dedicated in honor of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the Kaiserturm has stood since 1902 at the 478-m summit of the Armeleuteberg hill a short distance south of the town centre. From its top, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the castle and old town of Wernigerode and out to the high summits of the North Harz.

The Museum of Aviation and Technology displays over 60 aircraft and helicopters, and over a thousand other exhibits in its four halls. A Transall C-160 airplane is displayed on the roof. It can be visited. Furthermore there are two flight simulators a small restaurant and a souvenir shop.

This imposing tower, 38 m high, is first recorded in 1356 and acted as a toll gate. It was built in Early Gothic style and formed part of Wernigerode's city wall.
