Tips
What we see here is the reconstruction of the Roman watchtower - built in 1966-67!
According to current knowledge, it should be one storey higher, have a different roof covering instead of tiles and be plastered white. Source:

Guard Post 49 is the northernmost point of the Limes in Hesse.Currently (as of early 2022) not accessible; a large portion of the ladder steps has been dismantled, and the wooden balcony is also partially dilapidated. 🥴 What a shame🥴.Instead, the former spruce forest that stood east of the tower has been cleared. And a tree-free view of the Grüninger Warte has been created.
