Klettnersturm shines: Tirschenreuth coat of arms in new splendor

There is exciting news in Tirschenreuth that will spice up the cityscape! The Nuremberg restorer Stephanie Löw has gone to work again and restored the old coat of arms on the Klettnersturm, one of the city's most famous landmarks. This measure follows the successful restoration of the ceiling painting in the historic town hall hall, which was recently completed. The coat of arms, which has suffered somewhat over the years, now shines in new splendor, even if it is still partially hidden behind building tarpaulins.

The restoration of the coat of arms is part of a larger project aimed at revitalizing the Klettnersturm. The reinstallation of the outdated tower clock is scheduled for next week. Work on the tower is expected to be completed by mid-September, meaning the scaffolding and the associated road narrowing will soon be a thing of the past. The city administration has already announced that after the scaffolding has been dismantled, the renovation work inside the tower will continue, which should also be completed this year.

Restoration details

The restorer Löw worked with great skill and attention to detail to restore the coat of arms to its original state. Their expertise in restoration is undisputed and the results speak for themselves. The coat of arms is not only a symbol of the city, but also a part of its history, and its restoration is an important step in preserving this heritage.

The work on the Klettnersturm is part of a broader initiative to preserve and upgrade historical buildings in Tirschenreuth. The city is committed to ensuring that its cultural treasures are not only preserved, but also made accessible to future generations. Citizens can look forward to a beautification of their cityscape that strengthens both the city's identity and history.
