The Fremersberg is 525.1 m above sea level. NHN high mountain on the western edge of the northern Black Forest in the area of the urban district of Baden-Baden and the community of Sinzheim ( district of Rastatt ).

The construction of the first observation tower on the Fremersberg was completed in 1883. In 1900 it was increased to around 28 meters using rubble stones from a Sinzheim quarry, and demolished in 1954 due to instability and the threat of collapse. In July 1954, a new tower was built from the old stones, which promised more stability. When a permanent directional radio station was necessary due to the establishment of a television studio for Südwestfunk in Hans-Bredow-Straße Baden-Baden , the tower was demolished and rebuilt for aesthetic reasons. From now on it served both as a lookout tower and as a necessary radio station. This work was completed in the autumn of 1961 and the new transmission tower with a viewing platform at a height of 30 meters was put into operation.
