Schönberg Tower, Observation tower in Pfullingen, Germany
The white concrete tower rises 26.4 meters tall on the Schönberg mountain plateau, featuring two parallel vertical structures connected by a viewing platform.
The tower, designed by architect Theodor Fischer and funded by paper manufacturer Louis Laiblin, opened its doors to visitors in March 1906.
The tower received the local nickname 'Pfullinger Onderhos' due to its shape resembling a pair of white pants hanging to dry.
The observation tower remains open every day, while the small kiosk operates on Sundays and holidays when the flag flies at the structure.
This structure stands as the first reinforced concrete observation tower constructed worldwide, marking a significant advancement in architectural engineering.
