Munich Fair Tower, Steel tower at Trudering-Riem trade fair complex, Germany.
The Munich Fair Tower is an 86-metre steel tube structure at the eastern entrance of the Neue Messe München in Riem. Concentric rings are suspended by cables at several levels, and the fair's logo of 24 diamonds sits at the top. It was erected with a 550 t/800 t lattice-mast mobile crane.
The steel tower was erected on the grounds of the Neue Messe München in Riem using a 550 t/800 t lattice-mast mobile crane. Its original lighting installation of more than 1,000,000 LEDs was later removed after the diodes wore down through sunlight exposure and a cable fire.
The tower serves as a gathering point for the exhibition grounds where trade shows and conventions bring people from around the world. It stands as a visual landmark that helps visitors find their way across the sprawling fairgrounds.
The location is easily accessible by public transport, especially via the Messestadt West and Messestadt Ost subway stations. Walking paths across the grounds are clearly marked, and there is plenty of room to move around and get oriented.
