The Bismarck Tower Malente was a lookout tower built in honor of Otto von Bismarck in the Malenter district of Neversfelde in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein . He stood on the 90 m high wooden mountain , a terminal moraine .
It was one of the eight Bismarckian columns / towers in Schleswig-Holstein , of which it is the only one that no longer exists.
history
The plans to erect a Bismarckian column were pursued from 1902.
For lack of money, instead of the intended tower made of field stones, a closed wooden tower was built on a foundation made of field stones and inaugurated on June 28, 1908. It had a square floor plan (6 meters wide) and 28 meters high.
In 1918 the tower, which had been damaged by a storm, was demolished, only the field stone foundations remained.
Wooden mountain tower
In 2005, the wooden mountain tower was built as a new wooden observation tower right next to the foundation of the Bismarck tower in Malente .
