Unfortunately, the tower is locked; you'll have to get a key from the forestry office downstairs.

Even if you climb back down, you probably won't get a key this weekend.

The tower is unfortunately closed to visitors.

Story:

Already in 1845 was discussed in Sondershausen on a plan to build on the Spatenberg a lookout tower. In the enthusiasm after the founding of the Reich in 1871, Bismarck monuments were erected in many places in Germany. On the occasion of the forthcoming Bismarck's 80th birthday, on March 14, 1895, the Sonderhäuser newspaper "Der Deutsche" published a donation appeal from the boards of the associations of Sondershausen: "In an extremely suitable place, on the isolated mountain cone of the" Olenburg "in the Wipperthal, greeting the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial on the Kyffhäuser, which is in view from there, is to be the site of a Bismarck tower ".
