Königs Wusterhausen Central Tower, Communications tower in Königs Wusterhausen, Germany.
The Königs Wusterhausen Central Tower stood as a steel framework structure reaching 243 meters into the sky with a triangular cross-section design.
Built between 1924 and 1925, this tower served as Germany's primary radio transmission facility until its collapse during the severe storm Quimburga in 1972.
The tower earned the local nickname 'der Dicke' and became such an essential symbol that it was incorporated into Königs Wusterhausen's municipal coat of arms.
The central structure contained an elevator system that transported technicians to a platform at 230 meters, where they could access six antenna masts.
The tower's height made it Germany's tallest structure during its construction period, though plans to extend it to 283 meters were prevented by the Treaty of Versailles.
