Bismarckturm — Attraction in Neusäß

Nice place by day and night.😉Bismarck monuments have been erected since 1868 in honor of the first German Chancellor, Prince Otto von Bismarck, who was dismissed in 1890, in many places in Germany at the time, in the former colonies and on all continents. The Augsburg Bismarck Tower follows the standard Götterdämmerung, with which the architect Wilhelm Kreis won a competition of the German student body in 1899, one year after Bismarck's death. This means that this tower is practically identical in construction to 47 other Bismarck towers and / or Bismarck columns, apart from individual...

Schöner Ort mit toller Aussicht auf Augsburg. Dazu noch Spazierwege drumherum. Für Rollstuhlfahrer jedoch eher schlecht.

Bei klarer Sicht ist der Blick sogar bis in die Alpen möglich. Dazu muss man jedoch auf den Turm rauf🏛📸

Der Turm ist vom 1. April bis 31. Oktober täglich von 09.00 bis 19.00 Uhr geöffnet.

Die angebrachte Tafel beinhaltet folgende Zeilen:

Nice place with a great view of Augsburg. Plus there are walking paths around it. But rather bad for wheelchair users. On a clear day you can even see the Alps. To do this, however, you have to go up the tower🏛📸 The tower is open from April 1 to October 31, daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The attached panel includes the following Lines: The BISMARCKTURM at STEPPACH Built by the architect Heinrich Wilhelm Kreis 4th August 1901 laying of the foundation stone Inauguration on September 3, 1905 1958 tower closed 1981–1983 renovation by the recreation area association Augsburg (EVA) and the community of Neusäß March 26, 1983 reopening "This pillar is intended to be a memorial and landmark (Otto von Bismarck) to...
