The watchtower on the Schwülme River once served to secure an old trade and military road that ran through the Schwülme Valley. Together with the Reynhardeshagen church ruins, which stand directly beside the road that passes by, the watchtower is the last remaining evidence of the deserted village of Reynhardeshagen.
