Meerhardtturm, Observation tower in Gummersbach, Germany.
The Meerhardtturm stands 291 meters above sea level on Meerhardt hill, constructed from Grauwackebruchstein with neo-Gothic architectural elements.
Built in 1908 under textile manufacturer Karl Siebel's initiative, the tower construction cost 1511.09 Mark and was managed by the Gemeinnützige Verein Dieringhausen association.
The tower design follows the architectural tradition of English landscape gardens, reflecting the medieval revival style during the Second German Empire period.
While climbing the tower structure is restricted for safety measures, visitors can access multiple marked hiking trails leading to the observation point.
The structure received monument status in 1976 and serves as both an artificial ruin and an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia.
