    The historical significance of this ruin is not certain. It is also assumed, among other things, that this tower served to warn of enemy armies. Hence the name Haller (hall - call).

        The Haller is known as the observation post of the castle because one had a good overview of the Rurtal Monschaus.
        Other sources report a bailey to protect the Reichenstein Monastery. On a drawing from 1543 it is shown as an imposing roofed tower.
        In 1570 its stones were used to repair the castle.
