Bismarckturm, Monument ruins near Coburg, Germany.
The stone tower stands 16 meters tall and features a square base made of gray-white sandstone from the Weißenbrunn quarry.
Built in 1901, this memorial structure belongs to a network of 234 towers constructed between 1869 and 1934 to honor Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.
The tower design follows Wilhelm Kreis's Götterdämmerung concept, selected by German student fraternities to commemorate German unification in 1871.
Located at the highest point of Himmelsacker, the tower forms a rectangular alignment with Veste Coburg, Callenberg Castle, and Eckardts Tower.
On specific commemoration dates, fires were lit at the tower's summit as part of a nationwide network of memorial beacons.
