It was built in the years 1900–1904 at the request of Martin Quistorp as a tribute to Father Johannes, a Szczecin factory owner and philanthropist, founder of many municipal investments and a very influential man. The Quistorp Tower together with the surrounding area, developed with numerous alleys and garden greenery, was a destination for the Sunday walks of Szczecin residents. The design of the tower was made by Franz Schwechten, one of the Berlin architects and associate of Walter Gropius. The circumstances and the exact time of the demolition of the tower are not entirely clear. One of the versions says that the tower was destroyed in 1944 as a result of one of the Allied bombing raids, another - that it was blown up by the Germans in 1945 during the fighting for Szczecin, because it was an easy point of reference for Soviet artillery. Currently, there are fragments of buildings on the hill, partially covered with earth and overgrown. Next to the remains, there is an entrance to the underground.
