Wilhelm Kreis designed the 21-meter-high round tower, which was heavily influenced in many details by the tomb of the Gothic king Theodoric in Ravenna. A few years later, Wilhelm Kreis planned a similar, even more voluminous Bismarck Tower for Stettin (now Poland).

Here, on the edge of the Großschwabhäuser Haines, you'll enjoy a sweeping view of the hilly landscape between Jena and Weimar. The village of Kleinschwabhausen can be seen below. In the distance, the massive Ettersberg massif is visible.
