Berlin 2005. --- Info: The Fernsehturm is a television tower in the heart of Berlin, a well-known landmark, close to Alexanderplatz. The tower was built in 1965-1969 by the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), and its image was used as a symbol for Berlin by the GDR administration. The Berliner Fernsehturm was modelled on the Fernsehturm Stuttgart. The architecture traces back to an idea from Hermann Henselmann and Jörg Streitparth. Walter Herzong and Herbert Aust later also took part in the planning. Construction began on August 4, 1965. After 4 years of construction, the Fernsehturm opened on October 3, 1969. It is among the best known sights and attractions in Berlin with about a million visitors every year, and even today remains to be a symbol for 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 second largest structure in Europe, after Moscow's Ostankino Tower. There is a visitor platform and a restaurant in the middle of the sphere. A visitor platform and a restaurant are at approx. 200 meters above ground. The restaurant turns by 360 degrees every half an hour.
