Rinken Tower, Observation tower in Baiersbronn, Germany.
The Rinken Tower rises 16 meters above the ground, constructed with sandstone blocks at the southeastern end of the Rinkenkopf mountain ridge.
Built in 1914 by the Württemberg Black Forest Club, the tower received its initial name King William Tower in honor of William II of Württemberg.
The structure stands near the Rinkenwall, a circular rampart from 1100, mentioned in historical documents of Reichenbach Abbey as 'monte qui Rincga vocatur'.
Visitors reach the tower through multiple hiking trails, including Murgleiter and Genießerpfad, which connect through the Northern Black Forest region.
During the 1980s, the municipality of Baiersbronn acquired the tower, transforming its function to include telecommunications while maintaining public access.
