Imperial Tower
Kaisertürme and Kaiserwarten are monuments that were erected until 1918 in honor of the German Kaiser Wilhelm I. , Friedrich III. and Wilhelm II. in the German Empire or for Emperor Franz Josef in Austria-Hungary .
The erection of these towers and waiting areas was also intended to counter the so-called Bismarck cult, in the course of which, for example, hundreds of Bismarck towers and columns were erected.
