Flakt Tower

A Flakt Tower is a large, cylindrical structure built during World War II to help defend cities from air attacks. These towers housed powerful anti-aircraft guns and radar equipment, allowing them to detect and shoot down enemy aircraft effectively. Their design also included thick reinforced concrete to withstand attacks, and their height provided a strategic vantage point. Today, some Flakt Towers are preserved as historical landmarks, while others have been repurposed for modern uses like apartments or cultural spaces. They serve as reminders of wartime engineering and military defense strategies.
