The Bismarckturm in Landstuhl, which was built in honor of the first German Chancellor, Prince Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898), offers a magnificent view of the Sickingen town. The observation tower, designed by the architect Wilhelm Kreis (1873-1955), lies immediately in the west of Landstuhl on the Kirchberg.

It was founded by the mining industry Carl Ferdinand von Stumm-Halberg (1836-1901), has a height of 19 meters and was inaugurated in 1900. In 1907 the Bismarck tower was handed over to the city of Landstuhl. This undertook the obligation to light a fire on the platform on the day of birth and death of Bismarck.

In the interior of the Bismarckturm you reach a 74-step stone staircase to the observation deck and from there you have a magnificent view over the Sickingenstadt Landstuhl.

Information: The Bismarckturm is closed during Advent until shortly after Heilig-Drei-König. Otherwise, it is accessible year-round, if the weather permits.

Opening times

The Bismarck Tower is closed during the Christmas season until January, depending on weather conditions. Otherwise, it is accessible year-round, provided that the weather permits. Please contact 06371/13 000 12 for more information.
