Mozartturm, Cultural heritage tower in Darmstadt, Germany.
The Mozartturm is a building located on Rheinstraße featuring a steel viewing platform at its top and a broadcasting antenna. The structure is visible from street level and remains a recognizable landmark in the cityscape.
The building was constructed in 1936 for military purposes and served as an air raid shelter and anti-aircraft station during the war. After 1945 it was repurposed, marking a complete shift in its function.
The tower is named after a renowned composer and has housed music archives and recordings for decades. Visitors can experience its musical function during special events and occasional open days.
The tower is normally closed to visitors but opens once a year during the Open Heritage Day. Those interested in seeing inside should plan around this annual event or look for special programs.
The tower was the site where local military commanders formally announced their surrender to occupying forces. This dramatic moment is often overlooked by those who visit the city.
