Bismarck Tower, Observation tower in Kallstadt, Germany.

The 36-meter sandstone structure rises from the 493-meter Peterskopf elevation on the eastern border of the Palatinate Forest, providing panoramic perspectives of the region.

Built in 1903, this monument belongs to a network of 234 towers constructed across Germany between 1869 and 1934 to honor Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

The tower represents a significant architectural movement in German history, as it stands among 12 remaining Bismarck towers in Rhineland-Palatinate.

From May through October, visitors can access the tower on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays between 10:00 and 18:00, while winter hours run Sundays from 10:00 to 16:00.

The Drachenfelsclub maintains this cultural heritage monument, which features a kiosk, outdoor beer tables, and facilities for guests exploring the surrounding hiking trails.
