Bismarck Tower, Stone observation tower in Bensheim, Germany.

The Bismarck Tower reaches a height of 19 meters and features sturdy stone construction with Gothic Revival architectural elements throughout its structure.

Built in the early 20th century, this tower belongs to a series of monuments constructed across Germany to honor Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor.

The tower represents a period of German nationalism and serves as a testament to the architectural preferences of the early 1900s in Hesse.

Visitors can climb the internal staircase to access the observation deck, which provides views over the Bergstrasse district and surrounding landscapes.

During the winter season, the tower transforms into a large Advent candle, visible from considerable distances across the Rheingau region.
