Bismarck Tower, Monument tower in Bad Lauterberg, Germany.
The stone Bismarck Tower rises 15 meters high on Kummelberg mountain, offering a viewing platform with sightlines toward the Harz mountains and surrounding valleys.
The tower's construction began in 1904 under the direction of August Tischmann, with the foundation stone placed on April 10 and the official opening on July 19.
The structure features a bronze relief of Otto von Bismarck from the Gladenbeck foundry in Berlin-Friedrichshagen, positioned above the entrance at mid-height.
Visitors can access the observation deck via 60 stone steps followed by an 11-step iron spiral staircase during the opening hours of the adjacent forest lodge.
The tower belongs to the Harzer Wandernadel hiking system as stamp point 115 and stands along the Harzer Baudensteig trail at 535 meters elevation.
