Europaturm, Television tower in Frankfurt, Germany

Europaturm is a 337.5-metre concrete telecommunications tower in Frankfurt. Its shaft tapers from 20 metres at the base to 11 metres below the pod, which sits at 227 metres, spans six floors and measures 59 metres across. Above the pod rise six pink-lit tiers and a mast banded white and orange.

Construction began in 1974 to a design by Erwin Heinle, with Johannes Möhrle and Peter Metzger contributing, and the tower opened in 1979. At 331.15 metres it was then Germany's tallest free-standing structure, its concrete shaft exceeding the Berlin tower's building height, though not its antenna. It has been closed to the public since 1999.

Frankfurters call the tower "Ginnemer Schbarschl" in the local dialect, standard German "Ginnheimer Spargel" (Ginnheim asparagus), after its shape and the Ginnheim name. The official name Europaturm is rarely used in everyday speech; most people simply say "Fernsehturm", although no television signals were broadcast from it until the 1990s.

The tower has been closed to the public since 1999, so the observation deck and former restaurant cannot be visited. It stands at Ginnheimer Stadtweg 90 in Bockenheim, near the Deutsche Bundesbank headquarters; the site is usually reached from Ginnheim, north of the A66. The illuminated upper platforms are visible from the surrounding streets.

The ring foundation reaches 18.5 metres into marl subsoil that was filled with cement and silicate to make it load-bearing. The shaft was built with climbing formwork, a ring-shaped mould on which workers poured concrete metre by metre. It tapers from 20 metres in diameter at the base to 11 metres below the pod.
