Bismarck Mausoleum, Romanesque Revival mausoleum in Friedrichsruh, Aumühle, Germany.
The Bismarck Mausoleum sits on Schneckenberg hill and features marble sarcophagi with Romanesque elements inspired by the burial chapel of Theoderich the Great in Ravenna. The building holds the graves of Bismarck and his wife Johanna within a protected heritage monument.
Otto von Bismarck died in 1898 and was buried together with his wife Johanna in the newly built structure. Kaiser Wilhelm II attended the ceremonial interment on March 16, 1899.
The inscription 'Ein treuer deutscher Diener Kaiser Wilhelms I' reflects Bismarck's role as chancellor and his loyalty to the kaiser. Visitors can still sense how this place preserves the weight it held in German history during the 1800s.
Access varies by season, with opening hours changing between summer and winter months. Visitors should check current times ahead of arrival, as they shift seasonally.
Bismarck deliberately chose this location near the Berlin-Hamburg railway line to maintain a connection with life after his death. This unusual decision reveals his wish to remain present as a witness to his country's ongoing development.
