Large metal Hamburg tv tower scale modell statue
About the Item
A large metal scale modell of the Heinrich Hertz radio and telecommunication tower in Hamburg, Germany.
These scale modells were made on schools for metal workers by students who made these modells as study or graduation projects. Every large German city has a different tv tower and so there are many various scale modells made of them. Many are small but this is a rare large one. Probably made in the 70's in the DDR era.
When I bought this I was in the neighbourhood of the original tower which you can see in the last pictures.
The original tower is designed by architect Fritz Trautwein, in co-operation with civil engineers Jörg Schlaich, Rudolf Bergermann and Fritz Leonhardt, the tower was built between 1965–1968 for the former Deutsche Bundespost (German Federal Post and Telecommunications Agency, now Deutsche Telekom's subsidiary Deutsche Funkturm GmbH) near Planten un Blomen park.
With an overall height of 279.2 m (916 ft) it is Hamburg's tallest structure, consisting of a 204 m (670 ft) steel-reinforced concrete lower section topped by a 45 m (148 ft) steel-lattice tower and a three-segmented cylinder of about 30 m (98 ft), which supports various antennas. There are eight concentric platforms stacked one above the other: starting at 128 m (420 ft) with the two-story observation (lower floor) and revolving restaurant (upper floor) platform, served by two high-speed elevators. Above that at 150 m (492 ft) is the operations platform housing the workforce and equipment, and further up six differentially sized, smaller open platforms in same distances, populated with high-gain directional microwave radio relay antennas ("parabolic mirrors"). Number nine was added at 25 m height in July 2005.
