The Fernsehturm is a television tower in central Berlin, Germany. Close to Alexanderplatz in Berlin-Mitte, the tower was constructed between 1965-69 by the government of the German Democratic Republic.
The Fernsehturm (German for "Television Tower") is a television tower in the centre of Berlin, Germany. It is a well-known landmark, close to Alexanderplatz.. The tower was built between 1965 and 1969 by the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), and its image was used as a symbol of Berlin by the GDR administration. The tower is easily visible throughout the central districts of Berlin, and remains a symbol of the city.
The original total height of the tower was 365 m, but after the installation of a new antenna in the 1990s, the height is now 368 m. The Fernsehturm is the third largest structure in Europe, after Moscow's Ostankino Tower and Riga Radio and TV Tower. There is a visitor platform and a rotating restaurant in the middle of the sphere. The visitor platform is at a height of about 204 meters above the ground, and visibility can reach 25 miles(42km) on a clear day. The restaurant, which rotates once every twenty minutes, is a few meters above the visitors platform. (Originally it turned once per hour; the speed was later doubled, and tripled following the tower's late 1990s renovation.) Inside the shaft are two elevators for bringing visitors into the sphere section of the tower within 40 seconds.
To mark the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany, and the final match in Berlin Olympic Stadium, the sphere was decorated as a football; it is colored magenta, the corporate color of World Cup sponsor Deutsche Telekom, owner of the tower.

The weather this day was so foggy that it would have been no point in going up for the view. That didn't happen until the very last day of my stay.

Fernsehturm Berlin 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, 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.
Apparently it is a devisive structure with some considering it an eye-sore.

Bei Nacht leuchtet der Fernsehturm Berlin weit über die Stadt.
Als Student habe ich im Sommer 1969 beim Bau mitgeholfen.
Von oben konnten wir ganz Berlin sehen, uns aber nur in Ostberlin bewegen.
August 2001 - Fernsehturm from my friends appartment balcony on the 21st floor at Leipzigerstrasse - Berlin - Germany
I visited the Fernsehturm several times between 1985 and 2001. Amazing: a restaurant turning around on 350 meters.
I did not have a digital camera that time, but it was photographed with my Canon AE1.
