The world's first TV tower constructed from reinforced concrete was built from 1954-1956. It is the prototype for all modern TV towers, and affords visitors a beautiful view over Stuttgart. The Stadtbahn U15 to Ruhbank (Fernsehturm) gives you a wonderful view of the city. Entrance is €7 per person and is worth it for the near-fairground quality of the ride in the lift to the top. There's a nice cafe at the top which serves fresh food and drinks.
Fernsehturm Stuttgart is a 216.61 m (710.7 ft) telecommunications tower in Stuttgart, Germany. It was the world's first telecommunications tower constructed from reinforced concrete, and is thus the original modernist architecture highrise needle tower with a "basket" atop that would be built worldwide in the following years. Although controversial at first, it quickly became a well known landmark of Stuttgart and a tourist attraction.
