Why visit Berlin TV Tower?
Did you know?
- Secret bugging device: During the Cold War, the West German intelligence agency discovered that the German Democratic Republic had hidden a listening device in the Tower's sphere. This allowed them to eavesdrop on conversations in nearby government buildings and even the US Embassy. The device was operational for several years until its discovery in the 1990s.
- Easter egg lighting: The TV Tower has a quirky tradition during Easter. Every year, the tower's sphere is transformed into a giant Easter egg with special lighting arrangements. This festive touch adds a playful and unexpected element to the iconic structure, delighting locals and tourists.
- Original design modification: The original design of the TV Tower included a cross at the top. However, the communist government decided to remove the cross during construction, as it was considered a religious symbol. The decision sparked controversy and was seen as a political statement in the officially atheist German Democratic Republic.
- Giant World Cup Ball: In 2006, during the FIFA World Cup hosted by Germany, the TV Tower was transformed into a giant football. This creative illumination was part of the city's celebrations, showcasing the tower's adaptability for special events and its role as a symbol of unity and festivity.
- Weather-dependent shadow: On clear days, the tower casts a distinct shadow on the cityscape, creating a captivating visual effect. The length and clarity of this shadow vary based on the time of day and atmospheric conditions, adding an element of unpredictability to the tower's presence in Berlin's skyline.
