I was in the TV tower back in 1981. The Berlin TV tower was constructed by the old East German government in East Berlin. The top was a restaurant that slowly revolved around which gave people a panoramic view of the entire city. It was the tallest structure at the time. I remember it being rather dirty, especially the windows. One reason the East Germans built it was to listen in to western newscasts and to jam broadcasts. It also was a communist Propaganda tool to show the capitalists how creative the East Germans could be in building such an impressive structure. Reading this question, brings back great memories of my trip back then.
