Bismarck Column Schwaighausen-Geiersberg
Highlight • Monument
A Bismarck-enthusiastic forester and other Bismarck admirers initiated the construction of this Bismarck fire column. Schwaighausen-Geiersberg (since 1997: Markt Lappersdorf) was chosen as the location. The cost and financing of the pillar are not known.
The column was erected by Regensburg officers from the 11th Royal Bavarian Infantry Regiment “Von der Tann”. Quarry stones were used as building material.
A four-tier, triangular substructure (height: 0.74 m) serves as the basis of the 3.38 m high triangular fire column. The 1.78 m high column (in the shape of an equilateral triangle) rises on the top step.
In the middle of the column shaft on the front, a 0.36 m high and 0.35 m wide Bismarck coat of arms (green escutcheon, green clover leaf, silver oak leaves) made of iron was attached.
A 0.17 m high stone was built above the triangular column shaft, which serves as the base of a three-legged ornate metal holder that supports the fire bowl (diameter: 0.60 m). The year “1899” is scratched on the brick base stone.
The Pillar of Fire was inaugurated on June 8, 1899.
The fire bowl was stolen in the mid-1960s. In 1986, the rusted fire bowl holder was replaced by a fire bowl designed by Bernhard Frahsek by Mr. Menath from Oppersdorf. The masonry of the column was repaired by the Spitz company from Kareth.
The current owner of the column (Ev. Charity Foundation Regensburg) bore the costs.
A metal cross was subsequently placed above the Bismarck coat of arms in memory of a suicide and several suicide attempts in the area of the column.
The column still stands today - in an idyllic location - on the edge of a clearing. The substructure is heavily overgrown with moss.

Rock formations are now majestically visible in March. They soon disappear into the sea of leaves and are then almost invisible again—unfortunately!
