Wiesbaden Bismarck Tower

Wiesbaden Bismarck Tower

The Wiesbaden Bismarck Tower was previously one of approximately 240 monuments built in honour of Bismarck. The Wiesbadener Bismarck Tower was the tallest Bismarck memorial with a height of 50m. The wooden tower was built in 1910 close to the former watch tower on the Height of Bierstadt. It was planned only as interim solution to be later replaced by a solid structure with an elevator. However this project did not eventuate, because of funding problems. In 1916 the tower, nicknamed "Eiffel Tower of Wiesbaden", was closed for visitors and used as military observation post. In 1918 it was demolished, because of its poor state of repair.
