At the top of the Stengerts is the 22 meter high Dr. Hönlein tower (formerly: Hindenburg tower). It was opened on May 23, 1937 with its 100 steps by the Spessartbund and named after Paul von Hindenburg.

The 22 meter high Dr. Hönlein Tower (formerly: Hindenburg Tower).
It was opened by the Spessartbund on May 23, 1937 with over 100 steps and named after Paul von Hindenburg. It is integrated into the hiking trail concept.
The building was given as a gift to the community of Schweinheim and, when it was incorporated in 1939, to the city of Aschaffenburg.

The Dr. Hönlein Tower was built together with the Ludwig Keller Tower (Geißhöhe 521m/Dammbach) by the Spessartbund to save money originally collected for the construction of a federal building/youth hostel from being confiscated by the Nazis!
