Bismarck Tower, Memorial tower in Kassel, Germany.
The Bismarck Tower reaches 25.5 meters in height and stands on a hill overlooking the city of Kassel and the surrounding Kassel Basin.
The tower was constructed as a tribute to Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of the German Empire, and opened its doors on September 2, 1904.
