Not really a lookout tower

Today's Johnannisturm once stood as a bell tower on a church that was presumably destroyed in the turmoil of the Reformation. According to a chronicle, the tower was almost destroyed in 1732 when Nauheim citizens were looking for building materials for their houses there. 90 years later, the ruins again assumed important significance: in the surveying of the Taunus and the Wetterau. The surveyors made the tower their measuring mark. These geodesists had the building increased in 1866 so that it would continue to tower over the trees. With the expansion, it was converted into a viewing tower.
