Guided Story

Imagine being a worker back in 1908, looking up at this towering structure. Did you know this tower once turned molten lead into perfect spheres by letting it fall from the top? If you listen closely, you might still hear the echoes of the machinery. Behind you, near the Church of the Redeemer, there's a peaceful park. But here at the tower, you feel the heartbeat of Berlin's industrial past. Just a short walk east will take you to Nöldnerplatz, another charming piece of Berlin. Every stone here has its own story, and you're now part of it.
