Bismarckturm

The Bismarckturm rises 32.3 meters high on a hilltop at an elevation of 69.7 meters, featuring a square base and granite stone construction.

The foundation stone was placed on July 18, 1900, and thirteen estate owners from the Angeln region formed a committee to oversee construction until 1903.

The tower displays inscriptions and coats of arms, including a marble plaque with Bismarck's quote about Germans fearing only God in the world.

The monument remains open to visitors between Easter and November, with an exhibition inside presenting information about Otto von Bismarck's life and work.

A neighboring innkeeper family has maintained supervision of the tower since its inauguration in 1903, continuing this tradition into the 21st century.
