Once celebrated as the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower, the Österbergturm stands tall over Tübingen. Since 1963, it has served as a transmission tower, even though its role as an observation point concluded in the late 1990s. Its striking 40-meter height makes it a distinctive feature of the cityscape. Visiting this tower offers a glimpse into the past while connecting to modern technology.
