    The owner of the Sachsenwald-Hofriede villa colony, Emil Specht, initiated the construction of this Bismarck Tower in 1897, during Bismarck's lifetime. Emil Specht had previously acquired the property next to Aumühle Station, the highest elevation in Aumühle (39 m above sea level), from Otto von Bismarck and established a villa colony there.

    The structure, conceived as an observation and water tower with a 90 m³ water basin, was designed by architect Hermann Schomburgk from Hamburg. With the 4 m high tower cap on the platform, the structure reached a height of 27 meters.

    In Aumühle there is a particularly beautiful Bismarck tower. It is one of the towers erected throughout Germany and dependent territories in the late 19th century to commemorate Prince Bismarck.

    The owner of the villa colony Sachsenwald-Hofriede Emil Specht, who particularly promoted the development of the community, also took the initiative to build this tower in 1898/99.
    The tower was built on a hill according to the plans of the Hamburg architect Hermann Eduard Schomburgk (1850-1937).

    Really a particularly bright highlight in Aumühle. You can also visit the tower, but only by telephone.
