Quelleturm, Tower in Nuremberg, Germany.

The Quelleturm stands 90 meters tall and features two internal brick chimneys, making it a prominent structure in the Nuremberg skyline.

Constructed in 1964 by architect Ernst Neufert, the Quelleturm originated from a chimney and received monument status in 2006 as part of Wandererstraße 89.

The structure represents the transformation of industrial architecture in Germany, evolving from a functional heating facility to an advertising landmark.

The tower contains an elevator system and four large panels measuring 8 meters by 8 meters each, previously used for illuminated advertisements.

Following complaints about light pollution in 2002, the bright advertising displays with 13 kilowatt output per panel were discontinued.
