Holstein Tower, Gyro tower in Hansa Park, Sierksdorf, Germany

Holstein Tower is a rotating gyro tower in Hansa Park that rises 100 meters, with a glass cabin that rotates during its ascent. The cabin carries up to 72 passengers per ride and reaches a maximum height of 70 meters.

The Holstein Tower was built in 1987 by Huss Rides, according to German sources, and opened as Hansa Park's tallest attraction until the 2019 season, when the 120-meter Highlander gyro drop tower surpassed it. In March 2024 the park announced its demolition due to irreparable technical problems; dismantling took place in the first weeks of January 2025, starting with the gondola, then the flagpole, and finally the tower from the top down. On 18 September 2026 the park announced a successor for 2027, the 86-meter Buddenbrook Tower by FUNTIME.

The tower's shape imitates a traditional ship's mast, and a roughly 30-square-metre flag of Schleswig-Holstein flew from a pole on the machine house at its top. From 1994 to 2013 the saxophonist Richard Wester's piece "Dream Tower" played as the ride's soundtrack.

The tower was dismantled in the first weeks of January 2025, starting with the gondola being lowered, then the flagpole removed, and the structure taken down piece by piece from the machine house downward. A successor, the 86-meter Buddenbrook Tower with 60 seats, is announced for the 2027 season.

A 30-square-meter flag of Schleswig-Holstein hangs at the tower's peak and retracts into a protective cover during winter months. This seasonal mechanism protects the regional banner from harsh weather.
