EN: This ridge turret stands next to the parking lots behind the town hall of Madgen.

The structure is about four meters high and covered with copper plates. On all four sides there are sound openings for the bell and on the pointed pyramid roof stand a ball and a wind vane.

Detailed information about this thing can not be found. But there is a postcard from around 1900 that shows it on the roof of the school building. This three-storey house with front gable and seven window rows was later used as a town hall and was probably located where the modern town hall can be found today.

DE: Dieser Dachreiter steht neben den Parkplätzen hinter der Gemeindeverwaltung von Madgen.

Die Struktur ist rund vier Meter hoch und mit Kupferplatten verkleidet. An allen vier Seiten gibt es Schallöffnungen für die Glocke und auf dem spitzen Pyramidendach stehen eine Kugel und eine Windfahne.

Detailinformationen zu diesem Ding sind nicht zu finden. Aber es gibt eine Postkarte aus der Zeit um 1900, die es auf dem Dach des Schulhauses zeigen. Dieses dreistöckige Haus mit Frontgiebel und sieben Fensterachsen wurde später als Gemeindeverwaltung benutzt und stand wohl da, wo sich heute die moderne Gemeindeverwaltung befindet.
