In 1785, the two main buildings were connected by the Röhrwasserhaus. This gave Osterburg essentially its current appearance. From 1813 to 1815, the castle housed a military hospital, and from 1818 it was the seat of the district court. Towards the end of the Second World War, the keep was damaged by shelling from US troops.
The keep is the third highest in Germany.

The 54 m high keep is the third highest and one of the oldest preserved keeps in Germany. Above its second crenellation is the watchman's room, which was inhabited by a watchman until 1917.
