Watchtower guarding the German fields!

Thank you so much Val,

I am glad you like this scene, which is very common there. Although the purpose of these towers has not been explained to me yet!

Best Wishes and a very Happy new Year!

Dear Peter we called it ' Hochsitz or Ansitz'

A raised hide (also known as a hunting or hunting seat, raised hide or raised hide) is a hunting facility for hunting from a raised hide. It is used directly for hunting, namely for the purpose of finding the game.
The raised hide serves the hunter as cover and weather protection when hunting. It enables the hunter to recognize and judge the game (response) and to shoot safely. Due to the elevated position on the raised hide, the ground can serve as a natural bullet trap for projectiles that penetrate or miss the target. In addition, the hunting weapon can be supported or leaned against the game when it is put on. [1] A sufficiently high raised hide can also ensure that the hunter sits "above the wind" and is not smelled (scented) by the game.
