“Fernsehturm Stuttgart has a height of over 217 metres, withstanding the test of time for over 62 years. During construction, only a few people in Stuttgart had confidence that a tower with a steel and concrete framework would endure. The construction took 20 months, and the Stuttgart television tower was inaugurated on 5 February 1956. Fernsehturm Stuttgart's design has been replicated in various buildings worldwide, including those in Frankfurt, Dortmund, Johannesburg, and Wuhan, China. The construction costs of 4.2 million marks were funded through entrance fees collected over five years. Many technical improvements have also been made to enhance the television tower's safety, including installing a smoke extraction system in 2005 and multiple renewals of the ventilation, heating, and sprinkler systems.”
