Germany seeks a caretaker for a 900-year-old tower: a free apartment and 134 steps
The German town of Bad Wimpfen is looking for a new caretaker for the historic 12th-century Blue Tower. The candidate is promised a free 53-square-meter apartment, but without an elevator: getting home means climbing 134 steps. The current caretaker, 75-year-old Blanca Knödel, has lived in the tower since 1996 and will leave the post on January 10, 2027.
