The Regional Park Tower is a 41-meter-high observation tower located near the visitor center of the Regional Park Portal at the Weilbach gravel pits, northeast of Weilbach in the Main-Taunus district of Hesse. In addition to the Regional Park Portal for the Rhine-Main Regional Park, which opened in 2011, the planning also included the construction of a highly visible landmark directly related to the Regional Park and its focus on nature. Thus, in 2012, the Regional Park Tower was erected according to the plans of architect Peter Karle. Its overall form is designed as a large sculpture, intended to evoke associations and interpretations of natural forms in the viewer, such as a blossom or a bud. The €500,000 project, which was even dubbed the "Tower of Evil" in advance due to the involvement of the Fraport Foundation,[1] was to be financed by Regionalpark-Pilot GmbH (€160,000), Regionalpark Ballungsraum GmbH (€170,000), the State of Hesse (€102,000), and Fraport AG (€68,000). In 2013, the Wiesbaden chapter of the Association of German Architects (BDA) awarded the Regionalpark Tower the Johann Wilhelm Lehr Plaque for outstanding architecture in Hesse.
