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.

From 1975 to 2018, the Ludwigsturm, a wooden observation tower (covered platform at a height of 22 m), stood on the Rumbecker Berg near Wennenkamp. The tower was blown up on October 13, 2018 due to rotting damage. From 1901 to 1918 there was a first Ludwig tower on the same spot, which was named after the Rinteln high school teacher Ludwig Schwarz and also gave the second tower its name.
