Albinmüller Tower, Observation tower in Rothehorn Park, Magdeburg, Germany

Albinmüller Tower is a concrete structure in Rothehorn Park that rises through the park landscape and offers views across Magdeburg. The building combines solid concrete walls with glass sections at the top, creating a visual contrast between its heavy base and lighter upper levels.

The tower was built in 1926/27 to designs by architect Albin Müller for the Deutsche Theaterausstellung Magdeburg 1927, a theatre exhibition. It was long called Aussichtsturm Rotehornpark; the city council renamed it Albinmüller-Turm on 16 February 2012. Closed in 2001 due to war damage, it was restored during the 2000s.

The tower is named after architect Albin Müller, known as Albinmüller, since a city council decision of 16 February 2012; before that it was called Aussichtsturm Rotehornpark. A relief figure by Wilhelm Deffke on the upper corner shows the Magdeburg maiden from the city coat of arms, holding a wreath in her raised right hand. In the evening the glass tip is lit in colour from inside.

The viewing platform sits on the concrete shaft and can be reached by lift or by 252 steps. The tower was closed in 2001 because of unrepaired war damage and lack of maintenance, then restored during the first decade of the 21st century. A flat extension with café, reception and exhibition rooms was approved in 2023 for the tower base.

The glass-and-steel top, about 15 metres tall, was meant as a restaurant, but its small size made a viable catering operation impossible. The glazed section is offset sideways from the concrete shaft's central axis, a deliberate move to animate the silhouette. The tower is listed as a monument under the name "ehem. Turm der Deutschen Theaterausstellung".
