Eugen-Richter-Tower, Stone observation tower in Hagen, Germany.
The Eugen-Richter-Tower rises 23 meters high with a rectangular base, an octagonal main body, and two square-section stair towers on its sides.
Built in 1911 by architect Gustav Wenner, the tower stands as a monument to liberal politician Eugen Richter who represented Hagen-Schwelm from 1874 to 1906.
The ground floor Ehrenhalle contained busts of notable German figures including Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom Stein and Friedrich Harkort until its renovation.
Visitors need to obtain a key from the Volkssternwarte Hagen observatory during opening hours to access the tower's 84-step spiral staircase.
The tower forms part of the Hagener Drei-Türme-Weg hiking route, positioned strategically opposite the Bismarckturm to reflect political opposition between the leaders.
