Gustav Vietor Tower

The Gustav Vietor Tower was one of the earliest steel lattice observation towers to be built in Germany. Constructed of stone and steel in 1882-3 on the Hohe Wurzel mountain near Wiesbaden in Hesse, the 23-metre-tall tower was demolished in 2006, having been closed to visitors 20 years earlier, although it remained in use by radio amateurs.[1]

Location

The tower was situated on the territory of the town of Taunusstein, which is part of the Kreis (district) of Rheingau-Taunus in the Regierungsbezirk (administrative region) of Darmstadt in Hesse, central west Germany.
