Erected between 1965 and 1969, the 365m-high Fernsehturm was the pride of East Berlin. The panoramic platform offers an exceptional view of the urban area of Berlin and its historical centre, along the axis of Unter den Linden, the monuments of which look like toys. The vast expanse of greenery is impressive: the parks of Friedrichshain, the Tiergarten and the Grunewald are easily identifiable. Templehof airport can be seen to the south and the straight line of Karl-Marx-Allee to the southeast.
