      The tower is 16.3m high and its wall on the ground floor is one meter thick. Occasion of the construction of the tower was the silver wedding of Emperor Wilhelm II and Empress Auguste Victoria and the memory of Kaiser Wilhelm I.

        Great view over the Eifel. The location markings on the parapet above help with orientation.
        Unfortunately, up here at the weekend you can always hear the engine noise from the Nürburgring.
