    The 37.5-meter-high tower stands approximately 120 meters southeast of the summit and offers a sweeping view of the surrounding area. The view extends to the Hunsrück to the north, to the Saargau region to the west, and beyond to the French nuclear power plant in Cattenom, and to the south to Saarbrücken. In very clear weather, a view as far as the Vosges Mountains is possible.

    The tower contains a memorial to the German and French soldiers who fell in the World Wars, designed by the sculptor Richard Hoffmann. As a Franco-German meeting place, the tower is intended to be a symbol of the friendship between the two countries.
