Stadtwerketurm, Industrial chimney in Duisburg, Germany

The Stadtwerketurm comprises four vertical tubes, with three dedicated to smoke exhaust and one containing an elevator in the center.

Built between 1966 and 1967, the 200-meter-tall structure served as the main chimney for the heating power plant until its decommissioning in 2012.

In 1999, the tower received a distinctive green illumination system using 50 spotlights, reflecting the corporate color of Stadtwerke Duisburg.

The central elevator tube accommodates seven people and moves at a speed of three meters per second through the concrete and steel structure.

The chimney features a concrete base measuring 16 by 17 meters, supporting a 700-ton steel framework connected by five intermediate platforms.
