Text description provided by the architects. With a 23.5 m high look-out tower, the “Landesgartenschau Hemer“ contributes a new landmark upon the city. The tower, which has been completed after a planning and construction period of merely nine months, comprises a hyperboloid of straight timber members. In 2008, it won the second prize in a competition and has been designed, planned and completed by the working group Birk und Heilmeyer Architekten BDA and Knippers Helbig Advanced Engineering, Stuttgart. It was of- ficially commissioned on 17 April, the day of the opening of the “Landes- gartenschau”. The look-out tower has been donated by the foundation of the Stadtsparkasse Hemer.
