Great, modern architecture... and the view is simply amazing 👍
At 32 meters, it is now twice as high as the original tower!
By the way, there is also a very interesting line of sight here: the castle tower of the Falkenstein ruins and the telecommunications tower of the Großer Feldberg are on the same line.

The new Hardberg tower was opened on 06/18/22 and rises well above the tree tops of the Hardtberg and offers a perfect all-round view of Feldberg, Frankfurt, Höchst, Königstein and so on.

In 1899, the Taunus Club built an iron observation tower on the top of the Hardtberg, which was renovated in 1999 by the city of Königstein and increased to 14.5 m. It was the successor to the wooden tower built in 1884 on the same site, which was dilapidated and was demolished. You have a view over the Rhine-Main plain, although the view is often restricted by the surrounding trees.

The tower has been closed since December 2012 because the stairs are badly corroded and the load-bearing capacity can no longer be guaranteed. As of August 2015, of the 80 steps of the spiral staircase, the bottom 10 steps including railings are missing, and the tower is fenced in all around with a high metal fence.

A new Hardtberg tower is to be built by the end of 2020, which will be almost twice as high as the current tower at 14.50 meters. An increase to a height that allows a clear view again is not feasible for structural reasons.
