About 1 km (as the crow flies) west of the Emperor William Monument on the highest point of the Wittekindsberg ( NN) is the Moltke Tower, built in 1828/29 as the Wittekindsstein observation tower and, in 1906, was renamed the Moltke Tower in honour of Field Marshal Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke (1800 to 1891). From its observation deck at a height of 13.9 m, there are views of the surrounding hill country as well as the Weser Depression and the southern fringes of the North German Plain.
