The Fernsehturm TV Tower in the late evening light.
The Fernsehturm is the most prominent building in the whole of Berlin, visible day and night from just about everywhere in the city.
Standing 1,188ft tall, the giant silver spindle (known at the Telespargel – toothpick – by locals), with a sparking silver sphere revolving around its middle, was built by the East German government in 1969 as a symbol of their power, as well as a functioning transmitter.
Now a tourist attraction, visitors take the lift up the centre of the tower to the viewing platform in the sphere at 666ft or the revolving restaurant above, from where there are great views over the entire city.

The Fernsehturm is a TV tower, which, at 368 metres is the second tallest tower in Europe (behind Moscow's Ostankino Tower). For reference, the CN Tower is 553 metres tall and the Space Needle is 184 metres tall.
La Fernsehturm de Berlin est à l'origine une tour émettrice de signaux de télévision.
Avec 368 mètres, c'est la construction la plus haute de la ville et un symbole de l'ancien Berlin-Est. À son pied, sur l'Alexanderplatz, commencent les larges avenues et barres d'immeubles collectifs de l'ère soviétique. Ces édifices sont en voie de disparition accélérée depuis la chute du mur de Berlin.
Un restaurant panoramique se trouve au sommet de la tour ; les convives ont une vue imprenable sur la ville, puisqu'il effectue une rotation lente sur lui-même. L'ascenseur monte au sommet de la tour à une vitesse de 6 m/s.
