Bismarcksäule

The Bismarcksäule stands 6.1 meters tall with a square base of 3.5 meters and features three-quarter columns at each corner of its massive shaft.

The Bismarcksäule was completed in October 1911 as the last and smallest of 47 structures built to commemorate Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of the German Empire.

The memorial tower contains a bronze relief of Bismarck on its front side and displays the construction date through the inscription 'D.R. 1911' on the back of its base.

Visitors can access the monument daily through the Bismarckstraße, with free parking available at Unterm Höllscheid, requiring a short walk for the final approach.

The structure includes a metal fire bowl donated by Baron von Wittgenstein, which received a pyramidal copper cover for weather protection during the 2008 renovation.
