The GDR planned in the early 50s in Berlin to build a new facility, which should serve mainly to send the GDR television. At first one took a location in the Müggelbergen in the eye. After outbuildings had already been built there, the Ministry of the Interior determined that the transmitter would be in the approach lane of the planned Schönefeld airport.

In the sixties, the GDR leadership had the television tower built at its well-known location, not least in order to demonstrate the strength and efficiency of the socialist social system.
Today, the tower shapes the silhouette of the German capital - like the Brandenburg Gate a landmark of the reunified Germany.

With 368 m tallest building in Berlin and was completed in 1969. The rotatable ball is located at a height of around 200 m and contains a viewing platform and a restaurant.

Opened on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the GDR's death, the TV tower has in fact lost nothing of its appeal. He is a worthy landmark of Berlin!

The elevator will take you upstairs at such a speed that it will ring in your ears. Views to the far surroundings, entrance fee 25 Euro, yet this visit did not leave an overwhelming impression on me.

Only the revolving restaurant "Sphere" offers a complete overview of the whole of Berlin with a good meal. For more information see:

Berlin TV tower
At 368 meters, the Berlin television tower is the tallest building in Germany and the fourth tallest television tower in Europe. The television tower is located in the park at the television tower in Berlin's Mitte district. When it was completed in 1969, it was the second highest television tower in the world and, with over a million visitors a year, is one of the ten most popular sights in Germany.
The television tower in the international style was built in 1965-1969 by the Deutsche Post of the GDR in the park at the television tower in place of the demolished Marienviertel. The opening took place on October 3, 1969. The structure is over 220 meters higher than the old Berlin radio tower from the 1920s in the western part of the city. As a symbol and landmark that can be seen from afar, it characterizes the city's skyline. In the opening scenes of films related to Berlin, the capital is often symbolized by the television tower, in addition to buildings such as the Brandenburg Gate, the Victory Column and the Reichstag building.
The building, known internally as "Telecommunications Tower 32", serves not only as the location of several radio and television stations, but also as an observation tower with a viewing platform including a bar at a height of 203 meters and includes a revolving restaurant. In addition, the Berlin television tower serves as a venue. The striking and city-defining building underwent a strong symbolic change. After German reunification, it developed from a politically appropriated national symbol of the GDR into a city-wide symbol in reunified Berlin. Due to its universal and timeless design language, it was increasingly used as a trademark and is internationally identified with Berlin and Germany. In 1979, the Berlin television tower received monument status in the GDR, which was continued after German reunification.
