Trudelturm, Wind tunnel tower in Aerodynamic Park Berlin, Germany.
The Trudelturm stands 20 meters high with an external staircase winding around its concrete cylindrical structure in the Adlershof district.
Built between 1934 and 1936 by the German Aviation Research Institute, this facility enabled scientists to study aircraft spin behavior in controlled conditions.
The tower gained additional recognition when it appeared on the cover of Rammstein's 2022 album Zeit, photographed by Bryan Adams.
Located near Max-Born-Strasse, visitors can access the tower through a dedicated pathway named Zum Trudelturm within the science park complex.
Engineers placed aircraft models in vertical airflow inside the tower to analyze spinning patterns using high-speed cameras for aeronautical research.
