Schlaich Tower, Observation tower and footbridge in Weil am Rhein, Germany
The Schlaich Tower reaches 24 meters in height and features two spiral staircases connecting different platforms through a steel cable structure design.
The tower, completed in 1999, was created by engineering firm Schlaich Bergermann Partner to connect areas separated by a 16-meter railway embankment.
The steel structure functions as a regional gathering point where visitors from Germany, Switzerland, and France meet to experience cross-border perspectives.
Two separate staircases measuring 70 meters in length and 1.25 meters in width provide access to observation platforms at different elevations.
The tower combines transportation infrastructure with leisure purposes, incorporating a 45-meter bridge and platforms of 10.40 meters in diameter.
