Since 2024 with new tenants, it has been re conceptualized. Now there is vegan, but delicious food, selected drinks and much more. Nicely done, directly on the Saale

The Forestry Tower is located in the immediate vicinity of the Bismarck Tower. The 25-meter-high tower features a walkable observation deck.

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).
