The Bismarck tower is only about 7 meters high viewing platform. Due to the low altitude and the woody location you do not have a really good view, but the unusual structure is still worth seeing and well suited for children. Unfortunately, the place is often left dirty ...

The Bismarckstein was built in honor of the former Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. The inauguration was on June 21, 1903.
Most people from Göttingen know this monument under the name "Elephant Toilet".

Originally a large fire bowl was installed on the Bismarckstein, which was removed in the 1960s.
