Ludwigs-Tower, Observation tower on Staffelsberg hill in Bad Kissingen, Germany.

The sandstone structure rises 25 meters above the ground, providing views across the German spa town of Bad Kissingen and its surroundings.

The tower, constructed between 1881 and 1883, was initiated by Bad Kissingen Mayor Carl Fürst and named in honor of Bavarian King Ludwig I.

As an architectural heritage monument of Bavaria, the tower represents the architectural traditions and royal connections of the 19th-century German spa culture.

The tower requires reconstruction costs of approximately 120,000 euros and has been closed to public access since 2008 due to its deteriorating condition.

Trees growing around the observation point have gradually reduced the visibility from the tower, altering its original function as a lookout structure.
