Bismarckturm, Monument tower in Steinbergkirche, Germany
Description
The Bismarckturm is a monumental tower in Steinbergkirche with a square base and granite stone construction rising about 32 meters high. The structure stands on a hilltop in the Angeln region and features exhibition spaces inside.
History
The foundation stone was laid in 1900 and thirteen landowners from the Angeln region organized construction until its completion in 1903. It was created as an expression of regional identity during the Wilhelmine era.
Culture
The tower displays inscriptions and coat-of-arms carvings that speak to the place's role in regional identity. Visitors can observe the stonemason's work and decorative details that reflect the craftsmanship of that era.
Practical
The tower is typically open to visitors between Easter and November, providing access to the exhibition spaces inside. The site is reached by a walking path and offers views across the surrounding countryside of the Angeln region.
Did you know?
An innkeeper family has maintained care of the tower since its opening in 1903 and carried this tradition into the 21st century. This unusual continuity shows a rare bond between private business and monument stewardship across multiple generations.
