Schwerin TV tower

The Schwerin TV tower is a concrete telecommunications structure in the state capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern featuring a distinctive triangular ground plan with rounded edges. The 136-meter-tall structure remains a key landmark visible across the city.

The tower was constructed between 1960 and 1964 as a broadcasting facility in East Germany. It represented a significant step forward in radio and television infrastructure for the region during that era.

The structure includes a restaurant in its tower basket, which reopened in 1999 after being closed for eight years following German reunification.

The tower stands at a central location in the city and is easily accessible by various means of transport. Access to the viewing platform and restaurant can vary depending on operational status, so it is advisable to check current opening times before visiting.

The tower features a restaurant in its upper basket area, which was closed for a period after German reunification but was later restored. This dining venue allows visitors to experience views of Schwerin while eating at height.
