Urbach Tower, Timber observation tower in Urbach, Germany
The 14-meter tall wooden structure features curved Cross Laminated Timber panels that form a slender silhouette against the Remstal valley landscape.
The tower was inaugurated during the 2019 Remstal Garden Show as one of sixteen permanent architectural installations across the region.
The structure represents German engineering excellence through its innovative wood construction methods developed at the University of Stuttgart.
Four craftsmen assembled the prefabricated components in a single day, demonstrating the efficiency of the self-shaping wood technology.
The tower's components transform from flat panels into curved shapes through a technical drying process, eliminating the need for mechanical forming.
