Rottweil's TK Elevator tower: A global symbol of elevator technology!

The TK Elevator tower in Rottweil, an impressive building with a height of 246 meters, not only attracts the looks of the locals, but has now also attracted international attention! Since its opening in 2017, this futuristic colossus has been enthroned on the Swabian Alb and offers visitors the highest viewing platform in Germany. But now it's not just the breathtaking views that amaze Americans and English, but also the extraordinary functionality of the tower itself!

The American broadcaster CNN and the British tabloid The Sun reported on the TK Elevator tower in early November and was surprised by its unique destination. CNN described the tower as "skyscrapers in which nobody lives", while The Sun emphasized that it only serves to develop elevator technology. This special function makes the tower a fascinating example of modern engineering and takes it off from other high -rise buildings that are often filled with luxury apartments or offices.

international press is enthusiastic

Reporting on the tower shows how important such test towers are for the development of elevator technology. Although there are even higher test towers worldwide, such as the "H1 Tower" in Guangzhou, which measures 273.8 meters, the TK Elevator tower in Rottweil is celebrated as a "local architectural landmark". Thyssenkrupp, the operator of the tower, is a leading company in passenger transport and, for example, delivered the elevator for the One World Trade Center in New York. The test tower in Rottweil is therefore not only a symbol of the city, but also an important location for innovations in elevator technology!
