The Meerhardtturm is an observation tower and artificial ruin located in Gummersbach-Dieringhausen, Germany, recognized as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia. Built as a deliberately constructed ruin, it exemplifies the romantic taste for picturesque decay that characterized 18th- and 19th-century landscape design, offering visitors both the practical function of an elevated vantage point and the aesthetic appeal of evocative architectural fragments.
