    Built in 1897 in honour of the forester Ernst Ehmsen, who founded the Sauerland Mountain Association (SGV) here in Arnsberg in 1890. Its special vaulted ceiling makes it possible to have a conversation from corner to corner, even in a whisper.

      Great view of the old and new town. The right place for a rest. If you stand opposite in a corner of the tower, you can whisper something to each other thanks to the vaulted ceiling. That's why the monument is called the "whispering house" in local circles.

        Monument in honor of the founder of the SGV Sauerland Mountain Club. Fantastic view over the Ruhr directly at the old town
