Stuttgart TV Tower

Stuttgart TV Tower

The Stuttgart TV Tower is the tallest modern building in Stuttgart, standing at 217 meters with four floors and a rotating restaurant. It was built between 1954 and 1956. The tower is the first of its kind in the world made of reinforced concrete, and features a red-and-white television transmission mast at its top.

The Stuttgart TV Tower is situated on a hill known as “Hoher Bopser” in the southern Stuttgart district of Degerloch. After 20 months of construction, on February 5, 1956, the Südwestrundfunk broadcasting station and television began serving the public here. Until 2006, the tower transmitted FM radio stations and German public television channels. In recent years, it has also added digital television and private FM radio stations. Although the building was controversial when it was first completed, it soon became a landmark of Stuttgart and a popular tourist attraction. From the upper two observation decks, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of Stuttgart, from the Black Forest to the vineyards.
