Hamburger Flaktürme, Military defense tower in Wilhelmsburg, Germany
The Hamburger Flaktürme stands as a reinforced concrete tower measuring over 40 meters in height with walls reaching 3.5 meters in thickness.
Constructed during World War II in 1943, this anti-aircraft defense structure protected Hamburg residents from Allied bombing raids while housing military equipment.
The tower structure now serves as a venue for music performances, exhibitions, and community gatherings, transforming its military past into a center for arts.
Visitors can access the tower complex via public transportation to Wilhelmsburg station, with guided tours available through the Hamburg Tourism Office.
The rooftop of this former military installation has been converted into an elevated public garden offering panoramic views across Hamburg's port and cityscape.
