Fernsehturm Stuttgart, Television tower in Degerloch, Germany
The 216-meter concrete structure rises above Stuttgart with two observation decks offering views of the Swabian Jura and Black Forest regions.
Fritz Leonhardt designed this pioneering tower in 1954, establishing a new standard for telecommunications architecture as the first concrete broadcast tower worldwide.
The structure received recognition as a Historic Landmark of Civil Engineering in Germany in 2009 for its contributions to modern construction methods.
Two elevators transport visitors to observation platforms at 150 and 153 meters, where they can access viewing areas and a restaurant.
The tower features three rotating xenon lamps above the observation deck, functioning similarly to lighthouse beacons for aerial navigation.
