Typenturm, Communications tower in Flensburg, Germany
The Typenturm stands 33 meters tall with a rounded tank atop a cylindrical base, featuring characteristic brick Gothic architectural elements and detailed brickwork.
Built between 1911 and 1913 under architect Hans Gernand's direction, the Typenturm served as a water supply facility until the late twentieth century.
The structure represents a period of German industrial advancement, combining functional engineering with regional architectural traditions in northern German building design.
Located in northern Germany, the tower provides access to observation points where visitors can view Flensburg's harbor and surrounding landscapes throughout the year.
The Typenturm belongs to a network of approximately 300 standardized communication towers across Germany, each constructed with reinforced concrete for maximum durability.
