Bismarck Tower, Observation tower in Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany.
The stone tower reaches a height of 31 meters and stands on the Westerberg, offering views across the Rhine Valley and Taunus mountains.
Construction of the tower occurred between 1907 and 1912 through the efforts of the Bismarck society to commemorate German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.
The tower represents a cultural heritage monument in Rhineland-Palatinate, designed by Wilhelm Kreis in a combination of art nouveau and neo-Romanism styles.
The tower opens from April through September between 09:00 and 20:00, while winter hours run from October through March between 10:00 and 16:00.
During the winter season, the tower transforms into a large Advent candle, visible throughout the Rheingau region in the evening hours.
