Telemax, Communications tower in Buchholz-Kleefeld district, Hanover, Germany
Telemax is a concrete communications tower in Hanover reaching 282 meters with geometric concrete surfaces that create a distinctive outline in the city's skyline. The structure contains broadcasting equipment across multiple levels serving regional transmission needs.
The tower was built between 1988 and 1992 after initial design concepts were reconsidered as unsuitable for the city. This redesign process led to the concrete structure that now stands as part of Hanover's 1990s development.
The tower glows in magenta during major events like Hannover Messe, creating a visible link between the technology sector and local celebrations. This lighting has become a recognizable signal for significant moments in the city's life.
The tower sits about 8 kilometers from Hanover's city center and is visible from various parts of town. It functions as a broadcasting and transmission facility managed by Deutsche Funkturm, serving the regional infrastructure.
The structure earned a reinforced concrete design award in 1997 for its innovative truss system. This recognition highlighted the engineering achievement that solved particular technical challenges in its construction.
