Atzelberg
Mountain in Hesse, Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atzelberg is a mountain of the Taunus near Eppenhain, constituent community of Kelkheim, Hesse, Germany. Its silhouette is remarkable for a Typenturm radio tower. It is part of the natural region High Taunus although being part of the Main-Taunus-Kreis as well.
Tower
The summit of the Atzelberg is topped by the Luisenturm, a steel observation tower constructed as a replacement for an earlier timber structure. The current tower reaches a height of 27 metres and is built from steel tubular elements forming a three-dimensional steel truss. Its design follows classical observation tower concepts and is executed using a modern, fully welded steel tubular construction in off-knot configuration, in which the joining points are located between, rather than at, the structural nodes.[1]
