This is an overview of the ground- and 1st floor (towards the elevator) of the iconic 368m Fernsehturm (tv tower, 1969). This is the tallest structure in Germany. The panorama deck is at 203m and the high speed KONE elevator moves at 6m/s. Everything looks and feels dated 70s.
If you want to go up, get your tickets online which allows you to take the VIP elevator. You can also get tickets from the machine but those tickets are valid 3 hours later.
Is it worth it? I would say no. It's pretty cramped. You cannot go 'outside'. The windows are very reflective. The light is also not optimized for photography and there is a metal rail all around which reflects light back to the window. Elevators are small (15 people) and you have to wait in line to go down. It's just old and at that time it wasn't build for mass tourism or with photography in mind.
Perhaps the Funkturm is better?!
Der Berliner Fernsehturm ist mit 368 Metern das höchste Bauwerk Deutschlands und das vierthöchste freistehende Gebäude Europas.
Der Berliner Fernsehturm ist mit 368 Metern das höchste Bauwerk Deutschlands und das vierthöchste freistehende Gebäude Europas. Im Jahr der Fertigstellung war er der zweithöchste Fernsehturm der Welt. Der Turm im internationalen Stil wurde von Mitte bis Ende der 1960er Jahre im Zentrum Ost-Berlins errichtet und übertrifft den Berliner Funkturm in seiner Höhe deutlich. Er steht auf einer Freifläche zwischen dem Marx-Engels-Forum und dem Alexanderplatz zentral im Berliner Ortsteil Mitte und prägt als weithin sichtbare Landmarke wie auch als Wahrzeichen der Stadt die Skyline Berlins.
Construída pelo governo da ditadura comunista tem seu formato inspirado no satélite sovietico Sputnik.
In 1964, Walter Ulbricht, leader of the Socialist Unity Party which governed East Germany, decided to allow the construction of a television tower on Alexanderplatz, modeled on the Fernsehturm Stuttgart and the Soviets' first satellite, the Sputnik. The TV tower had several architects. Its former design was done by Hermann Henselmann, and Jörg Streitparth. It was built by the East German architects Fritz Dieter, Günter Franke and Werner Ahrendt between 1965-69. Walter Herzog, Gerhard Kosel and Herbert Aust later also took part in the planning. The construction plan though emerged already in the 1950s. The tower was actually needed for transmitting radio and TV programmes. At the same time it was intended as symbol and as a show of the GDR's strength. After some discussions regarding the tower's location it was decided to build the Fernsehturm next to Alexanderplatz, which is situated in the centre of Berlin. Construction began on August 4, 1965. After four years of construction, the Fernsehturm began test broadcasts on October 3, 1969, and it was officially inaugurated four days later on the GDR's National Day. It is among the best known sights in Berlin, and has around a million visitors every year from all over the world.
The Fernsehturm (German for "television tower") is a television tower in the city centre of Berlin, Germany. Close to Alexanderplatz and part of the World Federation of Great Towers (WFGT), the tower was constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the former German Democratic Republic administration who intended it as a symbol of Berlin, which it remains today,[1] as it is easily visible throughout the central and some suburban districts of Berlin. With its height of 368 meters, it is the tallest structure in Germany.
The original total height of the tower was 365 metres (1,198 ft), but it rose to 368 metres (1,207 ft) after the installation of a new antenna in the 1990s. The Fernsehturm is the fourth tallest freestanding structure in Europe, after Moscow's Ostankino Tower, the Kiev TV Tower and the Riga Radio and TV Tower. There is a visitor platform and a revolving restaurant in the middle of the sphere. The visitor platform is at a height of about 204 metres (669 ft) above the ground and visibility can reach 42 kilometres (26 mi) on a clear day. The restaurant, which rotates once every 30 minutes,[2] is a few metres above the visitors platform (originally it turned once per hour; the speed was later doubled following the tower's late 1990s renovation). Inside the shaft are two lifts that shuttle visitors up to the sphere of the tower within 40 seconds. It is not accessible by wheelchair.
To mark the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, for which the final match was played in the Berlin Olympic Stadium, the sphere was decorated as a football with magenta-coloured pentagons, reflecting the corporate colour of World Cup sponsor and owner of the Fernsehturm, Deutsche Telekom.
