• Turmbahn am Toelleturm was an observation tower on which an electrically driven elevator spiralized up. The tower was bought by Alfred Vorwerk in 1888, a company owner, in the 1890s from the Berlin Trade Fair and rebuilt it in 1897 near the air spa house.

• Atop the tower was a small Coffee Shop.

• In 1908 the tower was demolished, remaining tennis' court at site.
