The round tower has a total height of 19 meters. It is located on the summit of the 262.2 m above sea level Hemsberg in the southeast of Bensheim. The tower is made of granite and widens evenly over the last three meters. It is topped with a parapet, the upper edge of which is 16.1 meters high. On the southeast side of the tower, above the exit to the platform, there is a bay window with a gable roof that towers over it by 4 meters. In the lower part of the tower there is a two-storey extension with a hipped roof. In its original design, the extension on the upper floor was open and intended as a visitor's terrace. In the 1950s, however, this area was walled up and fitted with windows. The extension has served as a hikers' hostel ever since.

On May 17, 1897, the retired postal director Ernst Hallwachs (1828–1903) and the Bensheim entrepreneur Commercial Councillor Wilhelm Euler (1847–1934) suggested building a Bismarck tower on the summit of the Hemsberg.[5] The tower was built according to plans by Heinrich Metzendorf and completed on July 6, 1902. The construction costs for its construction amounted to 10,000 marks. In 2010, the tower was renovated. The roof was sealed, and windows and doors were painted. In 2017, the tower was handed over by the Bensheim local group to the Hemsberg Tower Association, which was founded for this purpose, because the local group no longer saw itself in a position to take on responsibility for the tower in the future due to its age structure.
