Wanne Observation Tower, Observation tower in Villingen-Schwenningen, Germany.

The steel structure rises 30 meters above the Black Forest region, featuring three observation platforms at different levels of the tower.

Built in 1888 by the Grüninger Bell Foundry, this tower represents an early example of steel frame construction techniques in observation structures.

The tower serves as a gathering point for local residents who participate in seasonal celebrations and community events throughout the year.

Access to the tower requires climbing multiple flights of stairs, and visitors should note that the structure does not provide wheelchair accessibility.

The octagonal cross-section design of the tower differs from typical circular or square observation platforms found in the Black Forest region.
