Berliner Fernsehturm the Berlin TV Tower in Germany
The Fernsehturm (German: [ˈfɛʁnzeːˌtʊʁm] ⓘ; English: Television Tower) in central Berlin was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the government of the German Democratic Republic, or East Germany, as both a functional broadcasting facility and a symbol of Communist power.
It remains a landmark today from its position next to Alexanderplatz in the city's Marien Quarter, part of the district of Mitte, visible across most suburban districts of Berlin. With its height of 368 meters (1,207 ft) (including antenna) it is the tallest structure in Germany, and the third-tallest structure in the European Union. When built it was the fourth-tallest freestanding structure in the world after the Ostankino Tower, the Empire State Building and 875 North Michigan Avenue, then known as The John Hancock Center.
Of the four tallest structures in the European Union, the Fernsehturm is 2 meters (6.6 ft) shorter than the Torreta de Guardamar, 0.5 meters (1.6 ft) shorter than the Riga Radio and TV Tower, and 8 meters (26 ft) taller than the Trbovlje Power Station. The structure is also more than 220 meters (720 ft) higher than the old Berlin Radio Tower in the western part of the city, which was built in the 1920s.
