Freiherr-vom-Stein-Turm, Observation tower in Hagen-Nord, Germany.
The stone tower rises on Kaisberg hill, featuring Neo-Renaissance architectural elements with a distinctive balcony and observation platform at its summit.
The structure, inaugurated in 1869, replaced an earlier wooden tower from 1856 and commemorates Heinrich Friedrich Karl Freiherr vom Stein, a German statesman.
The tower's inscription 'Des Guten Grundstein, Des Bösen Eckstein, Des Deutschen Volkes Edelstein' reflects German cultural values and national sentiment.
Following renovations in 2010, the tower reopened to visitors in 2017, offering panoramic views of North Rhine-Westphalia from its elevated position.
Modern LED floodlights installed on the tower's balcony illuminate its upper section, making it visible from distant locations during nighttime.
