The first observation tower was built on the local mountain as early as 1873. This was badly damaged by a hurricane in 1875, repaired again in 1876 and then remained in place until 1941 when it was demolished due to dilapidation. On June 1, 2007, the Hausbergturm e. V started the construction of a new tower, which was inaugurated on May 31, 2008 as the Hausberg tower. The tower is 23.25 m high and has a covered viewing platform at 19 m height, which is accessible via 98 metal steps of the staircase arranged diagonally in the tower. Panorama orientation boards are attached to the parapets of the platform.

From the observation platform of the tower, the view not only falls down to Butzbach, but also offers a 360-degree panoramic view with views to the south, west and northwest over the Taunus with the High Taunus and the Eastern Hintertaunus Wetterau (northeast, east and southeast), to the Westerwald (northwest), to the Siegerland (northwest), to the Rothaargebirge (northwest), to the Wittgensteiner Land (northwest), to the Burgwald (north), to the Gladenbacher Bergland (north), to Gießen ( North), to the Kellerwald (northeast), to the Knüllgebirge (northeast), to the Vogelsberg (northeast and east), to the Rhön (east), to the Spessart (southeast) and over the lower Taunushauptkamm at the Saalburgpass to the Odenwald (south).

Since 2015, the wooden struts on the south and west sides of the tower have been protected against weathering with sheet zinc covers. (Wikipedia)

In good weather and clear view, of course, the most beautiful.
Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed upstairs. That should be known as a dog owner.
