Bismarckturm, Art Nouveau television tower in Landau in der Pfalz, Germany
The Bismarckturm rises 12 meters high with a square base of 6.1 meters, constructed from red sandstone typical of South Palatinate region.
The tower, completed on October 23, 1910, required additional funding of 7,400 Marks after its initial structure collapsed during construction in December 1909.
The structure features oak leaf reliefs, acorns from Bismarck's family crest, and seated eagles in half-relief decorating its exterior walls.
The interior contains no staircase, with a circular opening in the first floor's barrel vault ceiling presumably used for material transportation.
The building materials include sandstone sourced from the fortress built by Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban and a demolished military hospital.
