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 honoring 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 of him as a person and erected. Sometimes they were pyramid-like structures, but often - as here - real (observation) towers were built and named after Bismarck.
