The Ruiter observation tower stands within the boundaries of the town of Knittlingen (formerly Kleinvillars), but on a field belonging to the town of Bretten, acquired by a family from Ruiter. Before the land consolidation in the 1970s and 80s, the site was part of Ruiter's territory; afterwards, it was part of Kleinvillars', because the boundary line was adjusted to follow the field paths. Previously, the border, which was also the state border between Baden and Württemberg, ran right through the newly created plots. On the other side of the district road is Brettener territory, formerly part of Ruiter's. That's where the tower was originally intended to be. However, the field belongs to someone from Kleinvillars, and he didn't want to sell! (His right.) Building the tower on the Ruiter side of the field path that crosses the district road wasn't possible either, because that area is still designated as a village reserve by the nature park. There would have been no subsidy for the tower there. So, the only remaining option for the Badener tower was the site in Swabia. Now borders unite! The coats of arms of the participating towns and villages, as well as the state, adorning the tower are a symbol of unity after all the divisions of past centuries, and a thank you to everyone involved. On a clear day, from the tower you can see the Palatinate Forest and the Phillipsburg nuclear power plant to the northwest, Ravensburg Castle and the Derdinger Horn hill to the northeast, and the Stromberg hills to the east.
