The Bismarkturm dates from the years 1904-1905. From 1993-1994 the tower was renovated.

The Pritzwalker Bismarck Tower is one of approximately 160 towers still standing today, built in memory of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898).
It is the only one in the Prignitz region.
Even during his lifetime, Bismarck enjoyed considerable veneration in the German Empire, which even extended to kitschy souvenirs.
Bismarck towers were built throughout the German Empire, particularly between his death and the First World War. In addition to being a memorial, they were usually also intended as a tourist attraction with a panoramic view.
The Pritzwalker Tower, opened in 1905, initially offered a panoramic view from the Trappenberg, one of the highest points in the city. The hill, which was still unforested at the time, was laid out as a park. The names and coats of arms of the contributing donors are inscribed in the base stones and at the top of the tower.
Initially, a gas flame shone from the tower, but this was soon removed due to cost reasons. At the end of World War II, the bronze bust of Bismarck was melted down, and the tower was then renamed the "Tower of Peace" in the GDR and used as a school observatory.

In the 1990s, the tower was renovated and given back its original name.

Nice panoramic view of the city and surrounding area from the tower. But the way there could be better marked.
