GERMANY ~ Telecommunications Tower - Braunschweig ~

...  Night view of the second largest building in the city... it is recognized as a significant landmark providing panoramic views of the region... a high viewpoint (approx. 90 meters high) from which, on a clear day, visitors can see the Elm, Asse, Harz, and Lichtenberg regions... Thanks Dustin!ヽ(ヅ)ノ

The telecommunications tower on Steinberg hill was built in 1971. Initially, the tower served as a relay station for radio communications to Berlin and for mobile phone service. 

In 1987, it was extended to a height of 154.65 meters with the addition of a fiberglass-reinforced plastic tube (containing antennas for analog radio and television transmission). 

At the end of April 2004, this 30-meter-long tube was replaced with a new one containing antennas for digital radio and television transmission.
