    The Bismarck Tower in Landau is a popular excursion destination and marks the highest point of the core city. It is located on the Kaffenberg, on the western edge of the historic fort complex.
    The tower was erected in honor of the first German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck and inaugurated in 1910. It is one of the many Bismarck Towers that were built throughout Germany at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries.

    The Bismarck Tower was built from sandstone that was quarried from the Landau fortress. The tower was originally built by the Ecker company, Landau. Shortly before the tower was unveiled, the structure collapsed and had to be rebuilt. The coat of arms of Bismarck can be seen above the entrance.
