Guided Story
Above you, the structure you're seeing is the Sender Rütscher Straße. It's perched on top of the Theodore-von-Kármán-Haus, one of the student residential towers here. This tower was once pivotal for broadcasting the analog TV program Das Erste. If you look southeast, you'll spot the Free Evangelical Church of Aachen, with the Lousberg Park further to the east. Even though the analog days are behind us, this tower remains a distinctive mark on the city's skyline.
