Bismarck Monument (Eisenach)
The Bismarck Monument was a memorial in Eisenach to honor the longstanding Prussian Prime Minister and first German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck .
history
Bismarck monuments were erected in many parts of the German Empire until the end of the First World War . Eisenach received the Bismarck Tower on the Wartenberg in the north of the city as early as 1902 .
A year later, the Bismarck monument , donated by Julius von Eichel-Streiber and created based on a design by Adolf von Donndorf , was consecrated at the entrance to the Eisenach city park on Wartburgallee . It was a bronze sculpture on a stone pedestal. After the Second World War, the monument was dismantled and presumably melted down. By 1963 the base was also completely removed.
