history
The old name Rösselsberg is derived from the Gasthof Zum Roß in Friedland, which was located at the foot of the mountain. From 1784 Michael Jäkel built the suburb of Jäkelsthal named after him on the northern flank of the Rösselsberg .
At the end of the 19th century, the Friedland Beautification Association had a 14 m high wooden observation tower built on the Rösselsberg , which was inaugurated on June 6, 1890. The building erected by the Friedland master carpenter Josef Haupt was not built directly on the highest point of the mountain, but southwest of it. This point offered a good view of the city of Friedland, the Wittig and Rasnitz valleys and the mountains of the Jizera Mountains . Due to the weather, the tower was in such poor condition after 15 years that it had to be dismantled in spring 1906.
On May 17, 1906, the foundation stone was laid for a new, 21 m high observation tower. This was built by the company Appel & Hampel as a brick building with granite blocks. The local master builder Anton Dreßler contributed a share of 1,000 crowns to the construction costs of almost 9,000 crowns. April 30, 1907 saw the opening of the new tower, known as Dreßler-Höhe , with an excursion restaurant. During the German occupation, the tower was transferred to the German Mountain Association for the Jeschken and Iser Mountains on May 2, 1940.
After the end of the Second World War, the management of the mountain restaurant was discontinued. The tower was still accessible, but no maintenance work was carried out. In 1958, in connection with the installation of a local television converter on the observation floor, the tower was repaired, which however was no longer accessible to the public. The building of the former restaurant was converted into a flight navigation station. After a new steel transmission tower was built in 1979 for the TV converter Frýdlant, the municipal national committee transferred the tower with the dilapidated building to the sponsorship of the TJ Slovan Frýdlant sports club in 1980. On November 6, 1982, the association made the observation tower open to the public again.
In 1992 the Club turistů Frýdlant (KTF), which is affiliated to the Club českých turistů , concluded a long-term lease agreement with TJ Slovan Frýdlant for the U rozhledny site . The old bar was reopened as a buffet.
The Frýdlant waterworks are also located on Frýdlantský vrch.
