Bismarck Tower, Observation tower in Ballenstedt, Germany.
The Bismarck Tower stands at 11 meters tall on Stahlsberg hill, featuring a limestone and granite construction with an internal staircase of 57 steps.
Construction began in 1914 to commemorate the Battle of Leipzig centenary, but World War I delayed completion until 1931 under simplified architectural plans.
The tower represents numerous memorial structures built across Germany between 1869 and 1934 to honor Otto von Bismarck, the first German chancellor.
Visitors can obtain a tower access key from the Ballenstedt tourist office and climb to a viewing platform located 280 meters above sea level.
The tower serves as checkpoint number 199 in the Harzer Wandernadel hiking network, connecting tourists to regional walking trails.
