Bismarckturm, Memorial tower on Sinnberg hill in Bad Kissingen, Germany.

The stone tower reaches 17.4 meters in height and features a twelve-sided frieze with the Bismarck coat of arms at the entrance portal.

Construction began in 1914 but halted during World War I, with final completion and public opening taking place in 1986 after extensive renovations.

The tower commemorates Otto von Bismarck, who visited Bad Kissingen as a spa guest multiple times between 1874 and 1893.

Visitors can climb 86 steps to the observation platform, which remains open from Easter to mid-October between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

The tower walls measure up to 0.90 meters thick and contain both granite exterior surfaces and brick interior construction.
