The Grunewald Tower or Grunewaldturm is a historical tower in the Grunewald forest of southwestern Berlin, Germany, built in 1897-99 according to plans designed by Franz Heinrich Schwechten.
In 1897 Teltow, a rural district of the Province of Brandenburg, mandated the construction of a memorial tower to mark the 100th birthday of the German Emperor Wilhelm I . On June 9, 1899 the landmark was opened to the public as "Kaiser-Wilhelm-Turm" , though the inscription on the eastern facade reads "Koenig Wilhelm I zum Gedaechtniss" , as he was also king of Prussia. A second inscription, on the western facade, facing the Havel river, reads: "Der Kreis Teltow baute mich 1897" . In 1948, following World War II, the tower was renamed Grunewaldturm, after the surrounding forest, near the Havel River.
