Bismarck Tower, Television tower and tourist attraction in Langenberg, Velbert, Germany
The tower rises nearly 30 meters above Hordtberg hill, offering views across the Bergisches Land region from its observation platform.
The structure was built in 1906 as part of a nationwide initiative to construct memorial towers honoring Otto von Bismarck, Germany's first chancellor.
The tower represents one of 173 remaining Bismarck monuments that were constructed between 1869 and 1934 throughout Germany to symbolize national unity.
Visitors can access the tower and its restaurant from Tuesday through Sunday between 11:00 and 23:00, with facilities including a mini golf course.
The site combines historical preservation with modern functionality, serving both as a memorial structure and a telecommunications facility on Hordtberg's 244-meter elevation.
