The Blue Turret (also called Luginsland or Eckturm) is located above the Baßmannpark near Bensheim and was built in 1910. The complex belonged to a landscaped in the 19th century English landscape garden. Nowadays there is also a barbecue and a playground. From the area offers a beautiful view over the Rhine valley to the Palatinate Forest.

The Worms textile manufacturer Wilhelm Valckenberg commissioned the architect Heinrich Metzendorf to plan and build the lookout tower on the Hohberg, which today is part of the Baßmannpark cultural monument and an example of late historicism.
