    The Bismarck Tower on the Nonnenstein is not a tower in the true sense of the word, but a Bismarck fire column. This is part of the monument cult after Bismarck's death. Between 1869 and 1934, around 240 Bismarck towers and columns were built. The idea was to light them on Bismarck's memorial days throughout the country. The column on the Nonnenstein was built in 1911 and is six meters high.

      One of many Bismarck towers, not really spectacular but nice to look at.
