history
At the height of Bismarck worship , a Bismarck monument was to be erected on the Kiekeberg in the neighboring municipality of Vahrendorf at the beginning of the 20th century . After the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia as a result of the German War and the Battle of Langensalza , resentment still prevailed among supporters of the Welfenhaus 40 years later . One year before the Bismarck Tower was completed, a group around the anti-Prussian "Hanoverian Club" in Harburg succeeded in inaugurating their prince monument in memory of the last King of Hanover, Georg V, on September 24, 1911.
The land for this was donated by the farmer and veteran of the Battle of Langensalza Heinrich Seckerdiek.
The then District Administrator Felix Rötger tried to dissuade Seckerdiek from the project, to which he is said to have replied:
“This is what you want, Mr. District Administrator, they seggen, here up duss Barg takes care of the Denkmol before our king to stahn. Dörben is still a barg, you can put a memorial in front of Bismarck, because everyone knows the Lüd, who casts his king over, gliek be he who stole our king's land. "
