Albinmüller Tower

The Albinmüller Tower is an observation tower in Rotehorn Park in Magdeburg and is one of the city's landmarks. The observation tower shapes the Magdeburg skyline and is located near the Elbe on the Elbe island of Werder next to the Magdeburg City Hall. With its elegance and functionality, the tower is a significant example of modern architecture from the 1920s.

The tower was built between 1926 and 1927 based on a design by the architect Albin Müller as part of the redesign of the area for the German Theatre Exhibition Magdeburg 1927. The structure represents one of Albin Müller’s most important works. The architecture of the tower incorporates the ideas of glass and light architecture from Bruno Taut, who worked in Magdeburg at the time. In the evenings, the glass tower top is lit in color. The tower forms a vertical contrast to the adjacent and simultaneously built Magdeburg City Hall, creating something akin to a campanile.
