THE RHEINTURM (RHINE TOWER) - GERMANY


The Rheinturm (Rhine Tower) is a 789-foot concrete telecommunications tower in Dusseldorf, Germany. It houses a revolving restaurant and observation deck at a height of 558 feet. 

 

The Rheinturm was inaugurated on December 1, 1981. It contains 7,500 cubic meters of concrete and weighs 22,500 tons. 

 

As a special attraction, a light sculpture on its shaft works as a clock. The sculpture was designed by Horst H. Baumann and is called Lichzeitpegel (light time level). The light sculpture on the Rheinturm is the largest digital clock in the world.
