Dear Towers-Group,

In October 2008, the German Architecture Museum (DAM) in Frankfurt will show an exhibition titled 7189Meter Politics and Architecture on the political meaning of TV-Towers.

The show will explore the constantly changing relation between politics, architecture and everyday culture. For this exhibition, we are looking for artefacts from artwork to souvenirs dealing with television towers.

Therefore, we kindly request the help of the international community of TV-Tower addicts: If you collect or produce objects dealing with TV-Towers from newspaper articles to toys, from photographies to paintings and art installations, from historical documents to personal design sketches -please send us an e-mail with an image or description of your objects.

Thank you for your support!
R. Körby

I've realized that I started way too many groups (much earlier in my Flickr experience), and in most of them I'm the only administrator...

I need some folks/volunteers to inject some new life in these groups

ie. fresh ideas, other people just to make sure the group image pool stays on track, growth of the group, etc...

If you think you are interested at all, respond here and we'll take it from there...

It was brought to my attention about the lack of a group icon... I would welcome anyone's suggestions... Just submit in this thread, and we'll do our best to reach a group concensus, somehow...

The history of the Television Tower of Berlin is directly connected with the historical situation of the division of Germany into two parts and the division of the city of Berlin. The former GDR saw the necessity to build a powerful transmitter in the middle of the eastern part of Berlin and in addition to this the Television Tower was meant to become an architectural and political symbol. It was in 1969 when SED leader Walter Ulbricht after long discussions decided not to build the Tower on the "Müggelbergen", a place in Berlin-Köpenick where the construction of a Tower had already begun, but on the Alerxanderplatz. In connection with the "Palast der Republik" a remarkable and representative monument was to be erected. It took only 53 month to build the "sozialistische Höhendominante" and on October 3, 1969 the Television Tower of Berlin was put into operation. After the reunion in 1990 the Tower did not loose its attraction. At the turn of the year 1995/96 the inside of the Television Tower was renovated and the technological standard was completely renewed. Now the visit of the television Tower of Berlin is even more pleasurable. Each year about 1.000000 people visit the Tower and enjoy the atmosphere and the great view from the top of it.

Unless you misread the group description... Anything worldwide is open and always has been... There are some references to North America within the description but that doesn't mean a restriction.
