Europaturm, Television tower in Frankfurt, Germany
Europaturm is a television tower made of concrete that rises 331 meters above Frankfurt's skyline. The structure features an observation platform 59 meters wide at a height of 227 meters, offering views across the city and surrounding region.
Construction started in 1974 under architect Johannes Möhrle and was completed in 1979. When finished, it became the tallest structure in West Germany at that time.
Local residents call the structure the Ginnemer Spaschel in their dialect, even though it stands in the Bockenheim district. This nickname reflects how people in the city have given the tower its own name within their everyday speech.
Visit the observation platform on clear days to enjoy the best views across the city and landscape. The platform is accessible to visitors by elevator or stairs from the ground level.
The foundation goes about 18 to 19 meters deep into reinforced soil, anchoring this tall concrete shaft securely in the ground. This engineering solution allows the tower to stand steady despite its height and exposure to wind.
