Heinrich Hertz Tower, Television tower in St. Pauli, Germany
The Heinrich Hertz Tower stands at 279.2 meters high, constructed from concrete with two separate tower baskets and multiple antenna platforms.
The tower opened in May 1968 as Germany's second tallest television tower, built by architect Fritz Trautwein following a design competition.
Hamburg residents named the tower 'Tele-Michel' due to its visibility across the city, similar to the St. Michael's Church tower.
The tower closed to public access in 2001 due to asbestos contamination, but plans for reopening in 2026 include new operators.
Between its opening and 2001, visitors could experience bungee jumping from the tower's observation platform.
