A 30-meter-high observation tower made of red sandstone on the Badener Höhe, the highest point in Baden-Baden.

From the Friedrich Tower, you have an unforgettable view of Baden-Baden and the mountains and forests of the northern Black Forest. In clear weather, you can see across the Rhine Valley to the Vosges.

A spiral staircase takes you up 35 steps to the lower viewing platform, which is located above the sloping support pillars at a height of about 6.5 m. Another 133 steps lead to the second platform, where the staircase exit is protected by a lockable metal enclosure.

The foundation stone for the Friedrich Tower was laid on June 9, 1890 by Grand Duke Friedrich of Baden. The tower was built by Anton Klein and inaugurated on October 5, 1891 by Grand Duke Friedrich I of Baden. The construction of the tower was one of the first measures taken by the Baden-Baden section of the Black Forest Club, founded in 1884. After extensive restoration work, the tower was reopened on June 19, 2003.
