In 1959, the Florian Tower (observation and television tower) was built in Westfalenpark for the Federal Garden Show. For around a decade, it was the highest television tower in Germany and thus one of the highest buildings in the country. Its height, including the antenna system, is around 209 meters.
There is a revolving restaurant in the tower itself; in 1959, it was the first of its kind in the world. Even today, the Florian Tower is a landmark that can be seen from far away and shapes the skyline of the city of Dortmund.

The Florianturm (Florian Tower, Florian for short) is a telecommunications tower and landmark of Dortmund (Germany), named after St. Florian, the patron saint of gardeners.
The Florianturm is the TV tower of Dortmund and was built in 1959 as an attraction for a federal horticultural show with a height of 219.6 metres (720 ft). At the time it was briefly the highest freestanding structure in Germany.
The tower was constructed similarly to a high concrete chimney. It consists of a reinforced concrete tube, which tapers off as it rises, reaching a height of 129.75 metres (425.7 ft). At 130.6 metres (428 ft) there is a building part with two floors. On the lower floor there are operation rooms and on the upper floor at 137.54 metres (451.2 ft) there is a revolving restaurant. At 141.88 metres (465.5 ft) and 144.7 metres (475 ft) there are two observation decks.
On the upper observation deck there are installations and aerials of Deutsche Telekom. Since 1959 it has been used for transmitting television signals.
Since 7 September 2004 the Florianturm has a height of 208.56 metres (684.3 ft), making it the fourteenth highest structure in Germany.

Florian was always my babysitter when I was young. The light from the headlights shone directly into my children's room. Well, earlier.

The Florian Tower, Florian for short, is a landmark of the city of Dortmund that can be seen from afar. The viewing and television tower was built in 1959 for the Federal Horticultural Show in the Westfalen Park with a height of 219.3 metres. For around a decade it was the tallest television tower in Germany and thus one of the tallest buildings in the country. Its current height with antenna system is around 209 meters. There is a revolving restaurant in the tower basket. In 1959 it was the first of its kind in the world.
