Live broadcast from Stuttgart TV Tower. The Stuttgart television tower, 216 and a half metres high, was commissioned in 1955. It is the world's first concrete TV tower. In the future, it served as an example for other similar buildings.
The Stuttgart TV tower was built very quickly: it took only 20 months to work, and in February 1956 it began broadcasting on tv and radio. Although the place for its placement was chosen specifically away from the city center (in the District of Degerloch), in the first years after the opening it became the subject of fierce disputes about whether it spoils the appearance of the city. Like all such discussions, these discussions ended in nothing: soon the TV tower became one of the most famous landmarks, and in 2009 it was made into the list of important for the history of monuments of engineering and architectural art in Germany, which put a fat point in all possible disagreements about its value.
Nowadays, broadcasting from here is carried out mainly in the range of FM radio frequencies, and therefore, strictly speaking, the TV tower structure is no longer. However, the name has settled, everyone is used to it.
And the real interest is not local radio stations. Travelers go to one of the two viewing platforms located at different levels: the first is located at an altitude of 150 meters, the second - three and a half meters higher. From these viewing platforms, a breathtaking panorama of Stuttgart itself, the thickets of vines and forests around the city and the entire Baden-Wuerttemberg region, all the way to the mountains of Swab Alba, as well as the Black Forest, are presented to the eyes.
Of course, the Stuttgart TV tower is not a record holder for height or, say, lightness of construction. Undoubtedly, it should be taken into account her age: the "old lady" is already 60 years old, and she was the first building of its kind. At least that's why it is necessary to pay homage to the building and visit its magnificent viewing platforms, at the same time admiring the flight of engineering thought and careful calculation of designers, who a few decades ago were able to adequately solve the almost insoluble problem of the construction of such a complex building.
