Bis­mar­ck­turm Sprem­berg Tower

The Bis­marck tower in Sprem­berg’s town park on the Geor­gen­berg is 20.74 metres high. Built in 1903, the look­out tower was exten­sively restored in 2012. The tower is made of brick with stone fac­ing. From the two view­ing plat­forms there is a good view of the town lying in the val­ley of the Spree. At the height of the lower view­ing plat­form, a quo­ta­tion from Bis­marck, com­posed of mosaic stones, adorns the tower. The coat of arms of the Bis­marck fam­ily above the entrance to the tower was made from a sin­gle block of Löbejün por­phyry and shows a tre­foil dec­o­rated with oak leaves. The crown is also made of Löbejün por­phyry. The forged inte­rior door with an impe­r­ial eagle was made by Hugo Richter. Inside the tower, infor­ma­tion boards pro­vide infor­ma­tion about its con­struc­tion and the park.
Euro­pean Hik­ing Trail E 10 leads through the park and past the foun­tain, lap­i­dar­ium and so-called Singer’s View.

How to get there:

The Bis­marck Tower can be reached from Bahn­hof­s­trasse via the “Him­mel­sleiter” steps and via Geor­gen­strasse (park­ing lot) and Kirschallee.
