history
With an appeal in the Badische Tauberzeitung on October 19, 1899, a Bismarck column was to be erected on the Höhberg property following the patriotic movement and “trusting the all-round, self-sacrificing support of all nationally-minded men in the local area” . 200 marks came together, which was topped up by government councilor Karl Groß, one of the old masters of Tuberania. At the foundation festival of Tuberania from October 3rd to 4th, 1903, the Bismarckian column was inaugurated at the end of the festival.
