    At 60 meters high, it is the tallest wooden building in the world and was erected in Elbauenpark for the 1999 Federal Horticultural Show. It contains an exhibition on the development of science with many vivid, partly interactive experiments.

    This tower has it all: From the hand ax to the X-ray telescope, from cave paintings to computed tomography - what has technically moved mankind over the last 6,000 years - it comes alive here.

    The millennium tower in Magdeburg is the tallest wooden building in Germany with a height of 60 meters. The design and the overall artistic concept of the tower come from the Swiss designer Johannes Peter Staub.

    The Millennium Tower was erected on the occasion of the 1999 Federal Garden Show in Magdeburg's Elbaenpark. Inside there is an exhibition on the development of science, with many vivid, sometimes interactive experiments. Among other things, the clock of Magdeburg Cathedral can be read through an astronomical telescope. A Foucault pendulum, suspended from the top of the tower, demonstrates the rotation of the earth.
