The Fernsehturm Berlin, located in the heart of Berlin, Germany, is an iconic television tower and one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Standing at 368 meters (1,207 feet) tall, it is the tallest structure in Germany and the fourth tallest freestanding structure in Europe. Constructed between 1965 and 1969 by the government of the German Democratic Republic, the tower was intended to symbolize the strength and efficiency of the socialist state. Today, it serves as both a broadcasting tower and a popular tourist attraction, offering panoramic views of Berlin from its observation deck and a revolving restaurant situated at 207 meters (679 feet) above ground.
