Funkturm Leipzig, Radio transmitter mast in Leipzig Trade Fair grounds, Germany.

The steel lattice Funkturm Leipzig reaches a height of 191 meters and contains a 21-meter fiberglass tube housing digital broadcasting antennas at its summit.

Constructed in 2015 and operational since May 2016, this structure replaced an older transmission facility located on a municipal works chimney 500 meters away.

The tower represents modern German engineering excellence through its status as the tallest freestanding steel grid mast for telecommunications in the country.

The transmitter broadcasts digital terrestrial television channels and digital radio stations through DVB-T2 and DAB+ technologies across the Leipzig region.

Four concrete foundations, each containing 250 cubic meters of material, support the 300-ton steel framework manufactured by Spanish specialist company Imedexsa.

Location: Leipzig

Unusual Berlin: lesser-known neighborhoods, historic sites, and unconventional locations

Berlin presents a different side away from the usual landmarks. This selection features lesser-known places where history blends with modern creativity. The former Tempelhof Airport transformed into a public park, Teufelsberg built on war debris with its old American listening station, or the Boros Collection housed in a Second World War bunker, reflect the city's turbulent past. The Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park from the GDR era, and the Monster Cabinet with its mechanical installations offer unusual experiences. These sites tell Berlin in a different way. From the Spy Museum detailing espionage during the Cold War to Badeschiff, a swimming pool built on the Spree, to the radio tower Funkturm with views of the German capital, each location has its unique character. Local markets, underground galleries, and stands like Curry 36, a Berlin institution since 1980, complete this exploration of a city with many faces, where each neighborhood retains its own features.
