Bismarck Tower, Memorial tower in Stuttgart, Germany
The Bismarck Tower stands 20 meters tall on Gähkopf hill, constructed from sandstone and offering a viewing platform accessed by 92 steps.
Students from the College of Technology commissioned this monument in 1904 to honor Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of the German Empire.
The tower represents one of 173 surviving Bismarck monuments built across Germany, designed by architect Wilhelm Kreis following the Götterdämmerung architectural model.
Visitors can climb to the observation deck daily between 11:00 AM and 7:00 PM to view Stuttgart city and the surrounding Feuerbacher Heide park.
The structure incorporates specific design elements from the 1899 architecture competition that established standards for Bismarck towers throughout Germany.
