Freiherr vom Stein was an important reformer in the late 18th century and the Prussian administrator of the western provinces, ie Westphalia. Friedrich Harkort, an important entrepreneur of the early industrialization in the Ruhr area, first had a wooden tower built. With the entrance and donation funds, the stone tower was built in 1869. Today the tower is closed due to dilapidated stairs. However, there are plans for a restoration.

Unfortunately, the tower is not to climb, but is still worth seeing

The Freiherr-vom-Stein Tower is located on the Kaisberg. At 285 m, the Kaisberg towers over the surrounding area and was therefore the ideal location for the construction of the tower. The surrounding area is a historical landscape and has been one of the most important areas for fossils and archaeological finds for more than 200 years. On the initiative of Friedrich Harkort, a wooden tower was initially built in 1856, which was replaced by the current building in the neo-Renaissance style between 1866 and 1869. The Freiherr-vom-Stein Tower was inaugurated on October 17, 1869. The inscription reads: The good foundation stone. The evil cornerstone. The German people's
gemstone. The grateful citizenry to the
memory of the Imperial Baron Heinrich
Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein 1869.
