Fernsehturm Schwerin-Zippendorf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schweriner Fernsehturm

The Fernsehturm Schwerin-Zippendorf is a 136.5-metre-tall communications tower built of steel-concrete between 1960 and 1964. Unlike most other TV towers the ground plan is a spherical triangle and not a cylindric cross section. Also its tower basket, which also contains a restaurant, has no round form, but looks instead like a triangle with round sites. From 1991 to November 28, 1999, the restaurant was closed. In the neighbourhood of this tower at 53°35'30,98" N and 11°27'19,8" E, there is a 273-metre-high, radio mast for FM-radio and TV.
