Otto von Bismarck started his law studies in Göttingen in 1832/33 and was the best-known alumnus during the time of the German Empirethe Georgia Augusta . However, after the Auf dem Toppe square had been selected on the condition that “the pillar is set up so that it can be climbed so that it can be used as a viewpoint”, the concept and design by the city architect Friedrich Jenner changed , which provided for an unusual limestone structure similar to a fire altar , was approved at the general assembly of the association on June 14, 1902.
