    It only took a few fractions of a second before the Ludwigsturm was on the ground. Blown up by a twelve-man special troop from the Lower Saxony THW regional association, the once so vigorous excursion point and destination of many a hiker turned into a heap of scrap metal.

    In August 2017, it became known that serious damage had been found during a routine inspection of the Ludwig Tower. The popular observation tower was then fenced off and closed to visitors. Entering was immediately prohibited under penalty, there was a risk of death. In 1975, the wooden tower was erected in a forest clearing on the Taubenberg.

    The building got its name from its predecessor, which according to a flyer for the historic town walk stood in the same place from 1901 to 1919 and was dedicated to the Rinteln high school teacher Ludwig Schwarz. Now the tower is history. At 12 noon sharp on Saturday, October 13, 2018, the first of more than 40 explosive charges detonated and dismantled the wooden framework.

      Here on the Rumbecker Berg, the highest mountain in this part of the Weser Mountains, the Ludwigsturm once stood, which I climbed with my father and from which we have a fantastic view over the entire Weser valley from Porta Westfalica to - in clear weather - to the Vogler. Unfortunately, it was torn down at some point, but is still shown on all maps. It is time for it to be rebuilt.

        The refuge offers a dry shelter when it rains and is well suited for a break!
