The Bismarck Tower of Aš on the summit of Háj (Hainberg) is one of three Bismarck towers in the Czech Republic. In 1898 the construction contract was awarded to the architect Wilhelm Kreis from Dresden, who received a gold medal for his construction plan at an art exhibition there in 1901. Under the construction management of Ernst Hausner, 666 cubic meters of granite were installed from October 18, 1902. The total cost of 58,970 guilders significantly exceeded the estimated 44,000 guilders. The Bismarck Tower was opened on December 22, 1903 and inaugurated in 1904. The vast majority of these towers were built between Otto von Bismarck's death in 1898 and his 100th birthday in 1915. Of the original approximately 240 Bismarck towers and columns, 173 buildings still stand in what are now Germany, France, the Czech Republic, Poland, Russia, Austria, Cameroon, Tanzania and Chile. In Germany, 146 of the former 184 towers are still preserved.
