Since it does not rise above the treetops, it cannot be seen from the city

The small Engelberg tower was rebuilt - probably in 1674 - on the site of its dilapidated predecessor. In times of war, the Hochwachttum was manned by guards who had a line of sight down to the city from Engelberg, which had long been unforested.

It was not until 1928 that the significantly higher Engelberg Tower was built as a water and observation tower. Until 1982 it served as an elevated water tank. It has retained its function as a lookout tower to this day. You can also get married in this special place. Before that, however, the bride and groom have to climb 123 steps.

By the way, the Engelberg owes its beautiful name to its geographical location. It lies at the end of the ridge that runs northwest from Stuttgart. That's why the Engelberg was originally called "Endelberg" (Endberg) until the 16th century.
