Killesberg Tower, Observation tower in Killesberg Park, Stuttgart, Germany.
A steel structure reaching 135 feet (41 meters) contains four viewing platforms positioned at varying elevations, linked by open spiral staircases enclosed within a transparent mesh framework.
Built in 2001, the structure replaced an earlier observation point dating from 1950 and was designed by engineer Jörg Schlaich for the International Garden Exhibition held that year.
Each of the 348 steps bears a metal plate with the name of individual donors who contributed to the tower's construction through a sponsorship program.
Access is available daily from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with a one-euro entrance fee required to climb the steps to various observation levels throughout the structure.
The weathervane atop the structure incorporates the shape of Stuttgart's Green U, an eight-kilometer (five-mile) park connection system linking six different garden areas throughout the city.
