TV Tower, East Berlin - very interesting story behind this, which you can read here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernsehturm_Berlin
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. (Wikipedia)
The television tower was built 1965-1969 by the GDR government. At 368 metres in height it towers over the neighbouring buildings and can be seen from quite a long way off.
Detail from the Wikipedia entry:
"When the sun shines on the Fernsehturm's tiled stainless steel dome, the reflection usually appears in the form of a cross. This effect was neither predicted nor desired by the planners. As a jibe against the atheist foundations of the Communist government, and the ongoing suppression of church institutions in East Germany, Berliners immediately named the luminous cross Rache des Papstes, or 'Pope's Revenge'."
OK, you can't really see the cross here, but you can see some of the colour of the wonderful sunset there was that day.

El Fernsehturm (en alemán, Torre de televisión) es una torre de televisión ubicada en el centro de Berlín, capital de Alemania. Es un punto de referencia muy conocido, cercano a la Alexanderplatz. La torre fue construida en 1969 por la extinta República Democrática Alemana (RDA) y su imagen fue usada desde entonces por el gobierno de la RDA como un símbolo de Berlín Oriental.1 Desde ella se pueden ver fácilmente todos los distritos del centro de Berlín y continúa siendo un símbolo de la ciudad.
==============
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 (GDR) 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.
The Neue Wache (New Guard House) is a building in central Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is located on the north side of the Unter den Linden, a major east-west thoroughfare in the centre of the city. Dating from 1816, the Neue Wache was designed by the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel and is a leading example of German neoclassicism. Originally built as a guardhouse for the troops of the Crown Prince of Prussia, the building has been used as a war memorial since 1931.
Taken with an Olympus OM10 camera and a Sigma 18mm lens using Ilford Pan 400 film developed in Ilfosol 3.
The lens has four built in filters which are selected by turning a ring into one of four positions. This one was taken with the orange filter, which makes the blue sky look darker.
