Guided Story

In front of you stands the Rostock Telecommunications Tower, constructed starting in 1968. Rising 140 meters high in steel and concrete, it was once the key broadcasting site of the city. This isn't just a technical structure; it's a piece of history from the former East Germany. Look north, and you might spot the Darwineum, with the Rostock Zoo slightly further to the northeast. This tower symbolizes the evolution of communication and offers you a glimpse into an era when it was part of the Deutsche Post network.
