The Berlin TV Tower from Different Perspectives
The Berlin TV Tower is visible from much of central Berlin. Depending on the viewpoint, it appears as a freestanding tower at Alexanderplatz, as part of the historic cityscape behind Berlin Cathedral or as a backdrop to the buildings and open spaces surrounding the Humboldt Forum.
The gallery documents the tower from close up and from further away. It shows the reinforced-concrete shaft, the tower sphere and the antenna mast, as well as the surrounding cityscape, seasonal events and changing light conditions.
Most of the photographs published on this page were produced by the editorial team.
Berlin TV Tower at Alexanderplatz
Alexanderplatz and the surrounding streets provide particularly clear views of the tower’s complete structure. Close-up photographs show the tower shaft, entrance area and sphere from steep, low-angle perspectives.
Views from Museum Island and Central Berlin
From Museum Island and the Lustgarten, the Berlin TV Tower is often seen together with Berlin Cathedral. Other viewpoints place it alongside the Humboldt Forum, the Sanchi Gate and Berlin’s historic centre.
Evening Light, Christmas Markets and the Festival of Lights
Evening photographs show the Berlin TV Tower within the illuminated cityscape. During the Festival of Lights and the Christmas season, additional scenes are created by light projections, market stalls and Neptune Fountain.
Tower Sphere and Architectural Details
Close-up photographs reveal the faceted outer surface of the tower sphere, the transition to the antenna mast and the proportions of the reinforced-concrete shaft. Further information about its construction is available on the page about the architecture of the Berlin TV Tower.
