    Hiking

    One of the typical Bismarck towers built throughout Germany, recognizable by the three-quarter columns at the corners.
    The tower cannot be climbed (no stairs inside) and now serves as a garbage can space for the attached restaurant. Unfortunately.

    There is also a restaurant with a wonderful view.

    Hiking

    At that time – around the time of the transition from the 19th to the 20th century – there was lively interest in many places in Germany in honouring the Chancellor OTTO von BISMARCK (* 1815 to + 1898, the first Chancellor of the German Empire from 1871, previously Prime Minister of Prussia and Chancellor of the North German Confederation) with a monument. But only in very few cases was a statue made and erected of him as a person. Sometimes they were pyramid-like structures, but often – as here – real (observation) towers were built and named after Bismarck.
