Description
- Owner: Deutsche Reichspost/Deutsche Telekom AG

- This structure was the first television tower ever built. The structure is both a high-rise building, and a television mast.

- It was originally built with a mast that rose to a height of 95 meters above ground.

- In the early 1990's, the mast was removed and replaced by a radom (radar dome), which is a device used used to protect an antenna, and in this case air traffic control radar equipment.

- The tower was transformed into a hotel in 1999.
