===Other tall structures=== [[File:Europaturm Abend.jpg|thumb|right|Top of the [[Europaturm]], a {{cvt|337|m|ft}} communications tower]] *'''[[Europaturm]] β''' The Europe Tower is a [[Radio masts and towers|telecommunications tower]], also known as the Frankfurt TV Tower, built from 1974 to 1979. With a height of 337.5 meters it is the tallest tower and the second tallest structure in Germany after the [[Fernsehturm Berlin]]. It was open to the public until 1999, with an entertainment establishment in the revolving top. It is normally referred to by locals as the "Ginnheimer Spargel" (''Ginnheim Asparagus''), but stands a few meters within [[Bockenheim (Frankfurt am Main)|Bockenheim]] district. *'''[[Henninger Turm]] β''' The Henninger Tower was a 120-mete-high [[grain silo]] built from 1959 to 1961 and owned by [[Henninger Brewery]]. It was the highest structure until 1974. The Henninger Tower had two rotating restaurants at the height of 101 and 106 meters and an open-air observation deck at the height of 110 meters. The tower closed to the public in October 2002 and was demolished in 2013 to be replaced by a 140 m (459 ft) tall residential tower, which is externally inspired by the old Henninger Turm. The cornerstone for this project was laid in June 2014 and construction was completed in summer 2017. The new tower offers 207 luxury flats<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.baunetz.de/meldungen/Meldungen-Baubeginn_fuer_Henninger-Turm_in_Frankfurt_3947903.html |title=Transformation des Bestands β Baubeginn fΓΌr Henninger-Turm in Frankfurt |date=27 June 2014 |access-date=14 December 2020 |archive-date=17 April 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210417234649/https://www.baunetz.de/meldungen/Meldungen-Baubeginn_fuer_Henninger-Turm_in_Frankfurt_3947903.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and houses the non-rotating restaurant "Franziska". From 1962 to 2008 a famous yearly [[Road bicycle racing|cycling race]] was named after the tower, the "Radrennen Rund um den Henninger Turm" (''Cycling race around Henninger Tower''). The now-renamed race is still a yearly event. *'''[[Goethe Tower|Goetheturm]] β''' The Goethe Tower was a {{cvt|43|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} tower on the northern edge of the [[Frankfurt City Forest]] in [[Sachsenhausen (Frankfurt am Main)|Sachsenhausen]]. It was the fifth tallest wood construction structure in Germany. It was built in 1931 and was a popular place for day-trippers until it burned down in 2017. A faithful reconstruction has been opened to the public on 12 October 2020, exactly three years after the original's destruction.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.hessenschau.de/panorama/der-neue-goetheturm-wird-ganz-wie-der-alte,goetheturm-wiederaufbau-100.html |title=Der neue Goetheturm wird ganz wie der alte |date=3 November 2017 |publisher=Hessenschau |access-date=17 November 2017 |language=de |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171118195740/http://www.hessenschau.de/panorama/der-neue-goetheturm-wird-ganz-wie-der-alte,goetheturm-wiederaufbau-100.html |archive-date=18 November 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
