Fernsehturm Stuttgart

Degerloch, Germany

The 99th tallest tower in the world

216.6 m · 711 ft

Fernsehturm Stuttgart (English: Stuttgart TV Tower) is a 216.61 m (710.7 ft) telecommunications tower in Stuttgart, Germany. It was the world's first telecommunications tower constructed from reinforced concrete, and is thus the original modernist architecture highrise needle tower with a "basket" atop that would be built worldwide in the following years. Although controversial at first, it quickly became a well known landmark of Stuttgart and a tourist attraction.
