Schauinslandturm
Schauinslandturm rises on Schauinsland mountain near Freiburg, with a triangular form that reaches 31 metres into the Black Forest sky. Built in 1981, the observation tower stands on three Douglas firs from Freiburg’s nearby city forest. From its viewing platform, clear weather can reveal the Swiss Alps, France’s Vosges, and surrounding Black Forest peaks.
Safety work has closed the structure while specialists repair weather damage and the effects of an earlier fire. Its most distinctive detail remains the timber support: three local Douglas firs carrying a sharply geometric landmark above Freiburg.
