Story · Grunewaldturm

You're standing at the Grunewald Tower, deep in the Grunewald forest in southwest Berlin. It sits on the Karlsberg, a hill seventy-nine metres high on the eastern shore of the Havel river. Look up. That's fifty-five metres of red brick in Gothic Revival style, designed by Franz Schwechten and built between 1897 and 1899.
