The sheer size when you stand in front of it is very impressive. In addition, there is the wind that whistles through the permeable base and underlines this impression of a lonely metal colossus on a wide corridor. The geometric structures are very attractive for black and white photographs.

Here you can see all 4 high-voltage pylons. The masts are on the Schleswig-Holstein side of the Elbe and on the Elbe island of Lühesand (district of Stade, Lower Saxony). The supporting masts of Elbekreuzung 1 are 189 m high and were built between 1959 and 1962. 1976-1978 Elbekreuzung 2 was added, the support masts of which had to be even higher in order to achieve the clearance height of 75 m. They are 227 m high and thus still the highest electricity pylons in Europe, for many years they were even the highest in the world.
