      It served as a trigonometric point for land surveying, with both an older and a more recent stone marking the location. The tower was part of a network of approximately 900 watchtowers along the Limes, used for communication and defense.

        The remains of the Limes watchtower "Marienhöhe" are located here. The information board there provides detailed information about the construction of the watchtower.
