Schaumbergturm, Observation tower in Tholey, Germany.
The Schaumbergturm rises 52 meters into the sky, built entirely of concrete at an elevation of 562 meters above sea level.
The current tower opened on September 19, 1976, replacing an earlier structure from 1927 that included a memorial chapel for soldiers.
The tower contains two permanent exhibitions focusing on Franco-German friendship and environmental protection through educational displays and presentations.
Visitors can reach the observation platform using either the stairs or a panoramic elevator, with parking facilities available at the base.
Local construction workers refused to demolish the crucifix from the previous tower, leading to its preservation near the Sotzweiler highway junction.
