The Fernsehturm, or TV tower, which was the first of its kind - build with a relatively thin concrete wall instead of a steel girder construction. It was opened in 1956 after only 20 months construction, and is the granddaddy of all similar TV towers since. |

| Total height of the tower is 217 m (about 712 feet), the viewing platform is at 150 m (492 feet). It is always a lot more windy up there than down at the foot of the tower. You can check the soundeffects here |
