The Mannesmann Tower Vienna was a 150 metres tall steel lattice tower with a triangular cross-section that was built in 1955 by the Mannesmann company on the exhibition grounds in Vienna.
The Mannesmann tower was a gift from the Düsseldorf-based Mannesmann AG to the Vienna Trade Fair and was realized under the direction of Josef Fröhlich. It was built from seamless tubular steel. The manufacture of seamless steel tubes by rolling was a process developed by Mannesmann in 1885 and the term Mannesmann tube was synonymous with seamless steel tubes for many decades. Similar towers already existed in 1956 in Hanover , Düsseldorf , Sao Paulo and other cities. During the night the tower was illuminated with neon lamps. A corner junction was specially exhibited at the foot so that the connection between the individual pipes could be seen.
