Bismarck Tower, Architectural heritage monument in Gronau, Bonn, Germany
The 13-meter-tall Bismarck Tower stands on a three-step base, constructed from basalt lava with a rectangular iron fire bowl measuring 2 by 3 meters.
Student associations and civic organizations initiated the tower construction in 1900, with its inauguration taking place on January 18, 1901, costing 20,300 gold marks.
The tower features a trachyte relief displaying the Imperial Eagle and Bismarck's coat of arms on the Rhine-facing side of the structure.
The monument remains accessible through climbing irons inside the column, which can be entered through a door located on one of its sides.
The structure represents the fifth implementation of architect Wilhelm Kreis's Götterdämmerung design pattern for Bismarck towers across Germany.
