Funkturm im Arsenal, Communication tower in Arsenal district, Vienna, Austria
The 155-meter concrete tower rises above Vienna's third district, featuring a modern design with straight lines and geometric patterns throughout its structure.
Built in 1975 by architect Max Agnese and Kurt Eckel's office, the tower served as the main transmission point for ORF television and radio programs until 2001.
The Funkturm reflects the technological evolution of Vienna, marking the transition from traditional broadcasting methods to advanced telecommunications infrastructure.
The structure houses A1 Telekom Austria's data center, processing 600 million emails monthly and filtering 300 million spam messages through its systems.
Located at 201 meters above sea level, the tower maintains its position as a central node in the Austrian radio relay network, connecting multiple communication channels.
