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 designed in 1927 for an art exhibition and later named after the architect who created it. Its original purpose as a viewing structure has remained unchanged since its construction, though its role in the city has evolved over time.
Exhibition panels on intermediate levels present information about Magdeburg's development between 1919 and 1933 for educational purposes.
Reaching the viewing platform requires climbing the interior stairs, which offers views across the city once you reach the top. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and prepare for some physical effort, but the route is straightforward and clearly marked throughout.
The top level originally contained a dining space that operated briefly before closing due to the limited seating the circular design allowed. Today this area stands empty, leaving visitors with only the views to enjoy.
