Homert-Tower, Observation tower in Lüdenscheid, Germany.

The Homert-Tower is an observation tower in Lüdenscheid in North Rhine-Westphalia and rises approximately 22 meters above ground level. The structure is located at an elevation of about 538 meters and provides views across the surrounding landscape from its upper platform.

The Lüdenscheid city architect Falkenroth drew up the plans for the tower, built in 1894 for the Lüdenscheid section of the Sauerland Mountain Association (SGV), founded in 1891. A vote chose the Homert site over the nearer hill Höh. Red sandstone, absent locally and costly to transport, was used for decorative elements of the historicist design.

The tower is maintained by the Sauerland Mountain Association (SGV), whose Lüdenscheid branch commissioned it in 1894. The choice of the Homert as building site was settled by a vote among members, after the closer Höh mountain had also been considered. The association still looks after the tower today.

The tower stands on the 538.3 m Homert summit in the Ebbegebirge nature park, south of Lüdenscheid. The SGV maintains it, and the viewing gallery is reached by stair; the Versetalsperre reservoir and the A45 motorway lie close by. Approach on foot from the surrounding trails, as the sources describe no direct road access to the summit.

The red sandstone used for the tower's decorative elements has no deposits in the immediate area, so it had to be brought in at considerable cost. Since the 1960s, asbestos-cement panels have covered the structure and still shape its appearance today.
