Altenberg Tower, Observation tower in Sulzbach-Laufen, Germany

The Altenberg Tower is an observation tower located near Hohenberg in the Schwäbisch Hall district of Baden-Württemberg, standing 42.5 meters tall. It sits at about 565 meters elevation and offers a complete panoramic view from its viewing platform.

The Altenberg Tower was designed by Andreas Moll and built in summer 2007; it opened on 7 October 2007. Its construction was partly funded by donations, and the steps and steel beams bear donors' names. It stands on the Altenberg, the highest point in the Schwäbisch Hall district at 564.7 m above sea level.

The tower was partly funded by donations, and the steps and steel beams carry the names of donors. At the foot of the stairs a collection box asks for a small contribution toward upkeep. Benches, information boards on the tower's history and construction, and a children's playground stand at its base.

The tower is reached by a 300-meter gravel path starting from the parking area east of Hohenberg. The path is relatively level and easy to walk, making it accessible for most visitors.

The tower's design is by Andreas Moll, and its shape is unusual: the lower two sections are tapered to a 6.6-metre square, while the third section is made of triangles. The open steel staircase inside has 201 steps in 33 flights, and its four supports pierce the roof and end over 4 metres above it.
