Schwarzenbergturm, Observation tower in Saarbrücken, Germany
The concrete tower rises 46 meters above the Schwarzenberg hill, featuring a square base design with straight staircases connecting multiple levels.
The tower opened in October 1930 after a nine-week construction period, commissioned by the St Johann Beautification Association and designed by architect Hermann Leiber.
The structure serves as a meeting point for community gatherings, offering panoramic views from its observation platform at 41 meters above ground level.
Visitors can climb 241 steps to reach the observation deck, with access hours from 8 AM to 8 PM between March and November.
The tower's location at 417 meters above sea level makes it a strategic point for radio communications, utilized by various operators since the 1950s.
