Designed by Hermann Henselmann, also responsible for the
Stalin-Alee (Boulevard), the tower was erected between 1965-69. It
is 365 metres high. A revolving café-restaurant at a height of
207 metres (one rotation takes half an hour) allows you to see as
far as 40 kilometres away, provided the weather is fine of course.
The Radio Tower (Funkturm) to the west, built in 1926, has a
height of 150 metres.
