What to remember
Built of larch wood, the Gliwice Radio Tower, built in 1935, reaches 112 m, or 367 feet. Among wooden structures, none stands taller.
It stands in the Szobiszowice district of Gliwice (Gleiwitz in German), in Upper Silesia, Poland, near Tarnogórska road. It is a radio transmission tower.
The European picture works in its favour: when the wooden radio tower at Ismaning was demolished in March 1983, Gliwice was left with the title of tallest wooden transmission tower in Europe.
