Mannesmann Tower, Steel lattice tower in Vienna, Austria.
The Mannesmann Tower featured a triangular cross-section and stood 150 meters tall, constructed entirely with seamless tubular steel components.
Built in 1955 as a gift from Mannesmann AG to the Vienna Trade Fair, the tower demonstrated industrial capabilities through its innovative steel construction methods.
The tower served as a symbol of post-war industrial advancement in Vienna, representing the technological progress of the 1950s construction techniques.
The structure functioned as a communications hub, supporting cellular services and radio communications for medical emergency services until its demolition in 1987.
During nighttime, neon lamps illuminated the entire tower structure, creating a visible landmark across the Vienna exhibition grounds.
