Bismarck Tower, Observation tower in Coburg, Germany.
The 16-meter sandstone structure stands on the highest point of Himmelsacker, featuring a quadratic base and decorative bands around its upper section.
The construction of the tower began in 1900 under architect Wilhelm Kreis, with Duke Alfred of Saxe-Coburg providing the land for its establishment.
The tower represents one of Germany's remaining Bismarck monuments, built to honor Chancellor Otto von Bismarck at the start of the 20th century.
The structure, located at Himmelsacker 63 in western Coburg, remains closed to public access but serves as a reference point for local hiking trails.
Between 1964 and 2008, the tower functioned as a television signal relay station while maintaining its status as a protected architectural monument.
