The Bismarck Tower Steppach was erected in honor of the first German Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck to commemorate his immortal work and the unification of Germany. The monument was initiated from 1901 by various student fraternities and a committee chaired by the Augsburg mayor Franz Gentner, who wanted to create a memorial for the "Iron Chancellor" dismissed in 1890. The tower was designed as a massive "fire column" made of Urach tuff stone, which originally served to ignite a fire on Bismarck's birthday (April 1st), and today offers a wide view over the city of Augsburg.
