Hilmwarte, Television and observation tower in Mariatrost, Graz, Austria.
The Hilmwarte rises 40 meters high with six tapered floors, featuring a rectangular base and an observation platform at 30 meters elevation.
In 1887, local industrialists and merchants financed the construction of this tower, replacing a wooden structure that previously stood at the same location.
The tower opening celebration in 1888 included performances by three military bands playing the specially composed Hilmteichwarte March by Josef Steyskal.
Located near Roseggerweg 31, the Hilmwarte functions as a weather radar research station while maintaining its status as a protected architectural monument.
The tower originally carried an Aeolian harp on its roof until the end of World War II, during which it served as a fire watch station.
