In 1870, the Stuttgart Beautification Association decided to build Stuttgart's first observation tower on the Hasenberg. In 1878 the association agreed on a design by August Beyer. The cornerstone was laid on March 6, 1879, King Karl's 56th birthday. After its inauguration on August 18, 1879, the Hasenberg Tower became a popular landmark and excursion destination in the city because of its magnificent view of the Swabian Jura and parts of the Black Forest.[1] The beautification association had to spend 25,800 marks on the construction.

On March 24, 1943, the tower, like other observation towers around Stuttgart, was blown up by the SS because it could have served as an orientation aid for approaching bombers. In the end, the inner city of Stuttgart was heavily bombed despite the blast.[2] Only a stump remained. In the 1950s, the association tried in vain to get compensation for the reconstruction of the tower. Efforts to rebuild were discontinued because a better vantage point resulted from the heaping up of the Birkenkopf from the rubble of the Second World War.

In 1973 the Hasenberg facility was redesigned. In addition to the stump of the tower there is a monument to the poet Wilhelm Hauff from 1882 and large sculptures by Otto Herbert Hajek in this green area. Because of the blast, the city of Stuttgart has to pay the beautification association a permanent small compensation for the lost entrance fees.

A nice rest area. But there are hardly any views. Overgrown with trees.

A few meters from the tower you have between the trees a nice view to the TV tower!
