Bismarck tower, Memorial tower in Iserlohn, Germany

The stone tower rises vertically from its base, featuring a distinctive architectural style with a square foundation and visible greywacke construction materials throughout the structure.

The tower, completed on March 15, 1915, stands as a memorial to Otto von Bismarck, who served as Germany's first chancellor from 1871 to 1890.

The structure represents a period of German architectural design when communities constructed towers to commemorate Chancellor Bismarck's role in German unification.

Located at Seilerwaldstraße with coordinates 51.394773, 7.722255, the tower functions as both a television transmission point and an observation platform.

The structure belongs to a network of 173 remaining Bismarck towers across Germany, each built through local community initiatives and financial contributions.
