Torii-Tower, Communication tower in Gusborn, Germany.

The Torii-Tower near Gusborn is a 97-metre steel lattice mast built as a double tower: two parallel vertical frames joined by horizontal beams, so that the whole reads as a gate. Its open steelwork stands on the flat land by the Elbe, and the name comes from the torii gates of Japanese shrines.

The structure was built in 1972 and originally manufactured in the United States for deployment in Vietnam. It was later relocated to Lower Saxony where it now serves as a communication facility.

The name comes from the torii, the gate of Japanese Shinto shrines, because the two parallel steel supports and their crossbeams recall that form. The comparison rests on the lattice frame alone; no Japanese building material or ritual use is involved. The tower stands near Gusborn in the Dannenberg area of Lower Saxony.

The facility functions as a broadcasting station for emergency services and mobile communications from a location at 48 meters above sea level. The area around the tower is generally accessible but the tower itself is closed to visitors for safety reasons.

The tower was manufactured in the United States and was originally meant to be erected in Vietnam, but it was finally built near Gusborn in 1972. Its name comes from the Japanese torii gate, which its two-legged steel lattice frame resembles.
