Bronze Age Burial Mounds, Aumühle

Highlight • Historical Site

In front of the forest cemetery there is this sign with an explanation and a map. There are numerous preserved barrows from the Bronze Age in the vicinity. Some of these are also located on the site of the cemetery, which is ideal for a quiet walk.

Bismarck Memorial Church Aumühle

Highlight • Religious Site

The Bismarck Memorial Church is an Evangelical Lutheran church building in Aumühle. The place is located east of Hamburg, where the Sachsenwald is also located.

This is also where the district of Friedrichsruh, which belongs to Aumühle, is located, where Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck spent the last years of his life and found his final resting place in the Bismarck Mausoleum.
Not far from there, about two and a half kilometers to the southwest, is the Bismarck Memorial Church on the southern outskirts of Aumühle, surrounded by forest and next to the shared cemetery of Aumühle and Wohltorf in the forest.


The church was designed by the Hamburg architects Heinrich Bomhoff and Hermann Schöne. The foundation stone was laid on the 30th anniversary of Bismarck's death, on July 30, 1928, and the church was inaugurated on July 30, 1930.

In 1966/67, at a time when the community was in a good financial situation, the church was redesigned by architect Friedhelm Grundmann, and the interior underwent a fundamental change:
The symbolic and statically advantageous but liturgically problematic central column disappeared, allowing a new design of the interior.

Bismarck Tower

Highlight • Monument

The owner of the Sachsenwald-Hofriede villa colony, Emil Specht, initiated the construction of this Bismarck Tower in 1897, during Bismarck's lifetime. Emil Specht had previously acquired the property next to Aumühle Station, the highest elevation in Aumühle (39 m above sea level), from Otto von Bismarck and established a villa colony there.

The structure, conceived as an observation and water tower with a 90 m³ water basin, was designed by architect Hermann Schomburgk from Hamburg. With the 4 m high tower cap on the platform, the structure reached a height of 27 meters.

The 27 m high observation and water tower with its "firing" device is a circular structure with a cantilevered, crenellated platform.

The whitish-gray plaster paint on the plaster simulated ashlar masonry.

The 3 m high, round base of the tower has a diameter of 4.46 m.
The wall diameter in the base area is just under one meter.


The base is capped by a decorative cornice. Above it rises the actual round tower shaft, which tapers slightly towards the top until it reaches the projecting observation platform at a height of approximately 20 m.

Three superimposed round-arched windows on the tower shaft (a twin round-arched window with overhang on the first floor) provide light into the building. Between these two round-arched windows, a 1.50 m high bronze bust of Bismarck was mounted on a protruding, ornamented support stone. It was sculpted by Harro Magnusson and manufactured at the Württemberg Metalware Factory in Geislingen. The bust was a gift from Hamburg's shipowners for Prince Bismarck's 80th birthday. An inscription in gold lettering reading "BISMARCK-TURM" was placed between the windows of the first and second floors.
