A Look at Fernsehturm Stuttgart
History and Construction
Standing tall in Stuttgart, the Fernsehturm Stuttgart holds the honour of being the world's first television tower. Erected 60 years ago, this 217-meter-high marvel defied scepticism during its construction. Instead of the conventional iron lattice mast, Professor Fritz Leonhardt introduced an innovative concept—a reinforced concrete tower with a circular cylindrical pod. This visionary idea not only revolutionized construction but also incorporated an observation deck, restaurant, and broadcasting technology. Today, this iconic landmark offers breathtaking panoramic views of Stuttgart, the Neckar Valley vineyards, and the scenic Swabian countryside, capturing the essence of the city's rich history and natural beauty.
Observation Deck
At a height of 150 m and 153 m, the Fernsehturm Stuttgart's observation deck treats visitors to a captivating 360° panoramic view of Stuttgart, stretching across the vineyards of the Neckar Valley to the picturesque Swabian Jura and the enchanting Black Forest. This popular tourist spot is nestled within a cylindrical pod, housing not only the observation deck but also a restaurant and cutting-edge transmitter technology. Designed by renowned engineer Fritz Leonhardt, this landmark tower has been enticing visitors since its opening in 1956, inviting them to savour the scenery from the Turmplattform and the Panoramacafé.
Dining at the Tower
The Fernsehturm Stuttgart boasts two remarkable dining options, the Panoramcafé and the Restaurant Leonhardts, each offering exquisite cuisine paired with breathtaking views. Located at 147 meters, the Panoramcafé stands as Stuttgart's highest café, serving breakfast, lunch, coffee, and dinner amidst a modern and ever-changing ambience. The Restaurant Leonhardts, both indoor and outdoor, presents modern Swabian delicacies in a beautiful garden setting, open for lunch and dinner. Visitors can relish the panoramic cityscape while indulging in a culinary experience. Additionally, the observation deck hosts a Turm bar, serving refreshing drinks and delectable snacks.
