    The Würzburg Giant is a radar device from Telefunken and was used to locate enemy aircraft during the aerial warfare in World War II. It was an enlarged version of FuMG 62 Würzburg and, like this, used frequencies around 560 MHz (decimeter waves). Technically demanding was the precise control of the 11-tonne rotating part consisting of the parabolic mirror and control cabin, which was implemented with a Leonard set developed by AEG.

    It's a shame that only the base is left. The radar was dismantled.
