The tower on the Lehener Bergle was built in 1894 as a lookout tower by the Freiburg citizen Franz Josef Hutter. Just one year later, the tower was sold to Hermann Herder, the Freiburg-based publisher and bookseller. This is where the sporadic name Herder-Türrmle comes from.

For many years, the tower served as a vantage point for walkers and hikers.
