The Killesbergturm in Stuttgart is a striking spiral observation tower that blends engineering innovation with panoramic beauty. Located in Höhenpark Killesberg, the tower rises 42 meters and features four viewing platforms at 8, 16, 24, and 31 meters. Designed by Jörg Schlaich and completed in 2001, its filigree cable-net structure gently sways with the wind, offering a dynamic experience as visitors ascend its 348 steps. Each step was financed through public sponsorship, making the tower a symbol of civic pride. The design earned the Engineering Award in 2002 for its lightweight yet resilient construction. From the top, visitors enjoy sweeping views of Stuttgart, the Neckar Valley, and the Swabian Jura. The Killesbergturm stands on the site of the former Zaiser Tower, which was demolished in 1974. Today, it remains a beloved destination for locals and tourists, combining architectural elegance with natural serenity.
