Bismarckturm

The Bismarckturm stands 12 meters tall with a square foundation of 6 by 6 meters, constructed from sandstone and granite on the Great Wartberg elevation point.

The tower construction started on May 5, 1910, following the initiative of Magdeburg workers' association, with an inauguration ceremony held on September 11 of the same year.

The structure features a fire bowl for ceremonies, a Reichsadler relief on its south side, and originally displayed multiple references to Chancellor Otto von Bismarck.

Visitors can climb 29 stone steps and 18 metal steps to reach the observation platform, with a parking area located directly in front of the entrance.

The tower marks the highest point in the Magdeburger Börde region at 145.7 meters above sea level, offering views across the landscape toward the Elbe River.
