You should remember this spot for a great view of Marburg.
The Bismarck Tower was built in 1903 and 1904 as an observation tower by the students and citizens of Marburg, but is now closed and no longer accessible. However, you can still enjoy a great view of the city from below the tower. The small park in front of the tower also invites you to linger and relax.
