Szczecin Bismarck Tower

One of the many Bismarck towers built in the former German Empire (Kaiserreich) is located in Szczecin (Gocław), now in north-western Poland (known as Stettin in German).

Bismarck Tower (Gocław Tower)

History

Its construction began relatively late, in 1913, and it was only finished in 1921. The total construction cost of the 25-metre (82 ft)-tall tower was approximately 200,000 German Papiermarks.

The tower is located on top of a small hill and is surrounded by a small wood, although the surrounding area is now generally industrial. It is approximately 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from the city centre, close to a tram terminus.

Although one can visit the tower, the main entry way is fully sealed off, as are all windows, making entry impossible. It is also in need of restoration.

gollark: So you're arguing that the marginal value of a vaccine to everyone isn't great because it does not get substantially closer to eradication?
gollark: And?
gollark: The effectiveness in general scales with how many people have it and how good the vaccines are individually. We want to maximize that. So... it's sensible to reduce one factor because the other is lower?!
gollark: This is a... very bizarre argument?
gollark: Like removing unwanted mountains.
