Olympiaturm

Munich, 1968, about 291 meters. The Olympiaturm opened in February 1968, four years before the Munich Olympics grew up around it, and it became the backdrop to the Olympic Park's tent-like stadium roofs. It is a communications and broadcast tower first, with radio and TV antennas in the red and white mast, and a revolving restaurant and viewing decks in the head below. This clear spring view from 2012 shows the classic German formula that Stuttgart started: concrete shaft, stacked platforms, antenna on top, with the Alps visible from the deck on good days.
