In Roman times there was a signal tower on the Johannisberg since the 2nd century, which belonged to the system of the Upper German Limes. Structurally it resembled a Limes watchtower. Presumably it was used to transmit optical signals from the Limes to Friedberg Fort, which had no direct line of sight to the nearest Limes watchtower on the Gaulskopf.
The remains of the Roman signal tower were restored in 2010 and it was also made clear which parts are original and which additions.

There isn't much left, but you can learn a lot about the history on the information board.

The Romans also appreciated the Johannesberg, even if it was called differently at the time
