    The Schillerhain has been known as the Wartberg since the Middle Ages, as the still-existing watch tower was built on it, which supplemented the town fortifications. Until the middle of the 19th century, the Schillerhain was a desolate hill in the west of Kirchheimbolanden, also called Geißberg, which was used as a goat pasture and for sandstone mining.
    In Schillerhain there are three listed towers not far from each other.


    The earlier 11.5 meter high watchtower (⊙) built in the 15th century was converted into an observation tower in 1859, the 10.5 meter high viewing platform of which can be climbed via 51 steps of a metal spiral staircase. [13]
