Fröbel-Tower, Observation tower on Kirchberg mountain in Oberweissbach, Germany
The Fröbel Tower reaches a height of 29.75 meters and stands at an elevation of 785 meters above sea level in the Schwarzatal region.
The tower's construction began with a foundation stone laying ceremony on April 21, 1888, and its dedication took place on July 27, 1890.
The structure honors Friedrich Fröbel, the German educator who developed the kindergarten concept and influenced early childhood education methods worldwide.
The tower includes a restaurant called Berggasthaus Fröbelturm, which provides dining options and refreshments for visitors exploring the surrounding hiking trails.
The stone tower underwent multiple modifications, including the addition of verandah structures in 1935 and 1939, followed by restoration after World War II.
