The Schaumberg is a mountain in Saarland and the highest elevation in the Prims-Blies-Hügelland natural area. The mountain is a cone mountain of volcanic origin. With a height of 568.2 m and the striking Schaumberg tower, it is visible from a long distance and is considered the “local mountain of the Saarland”, also in keeping with the tradition that it was the highest mountain in the former Saar region. It is located in the St. Wendel district in the municipality of Tholey between the towns of Tholey and Theley.

The 37.5 m high tower stands approx. 120 m southeast of the summit and allows a wide view of the surrounding area. The view extends to the Hunsrück in the north, to the Saargau in the west and beyond to the French Cattenom nuclear power plant and to Saarbrücken in the south. If the weather is very clear, you can see as far as the Vosges.

The tower contains a memorial for the soldiers of Germany and France who fell in the world wars, which was designed by the sculptor Richard Hoffmann. As a German-French meeting place, the tower is intended to be a sign of friendship between the two countries.
