Copies of the Eiffel tower in Germany



Berlin

Germany has several copies of the Eiffel Tower on its territory. This one is in Berlin, in front of the Center Francais of Berlin, which was an institution of the French Military Government of Berlin, an instrument in the propagation of the French culture in the former French sector of Berlin Now become a hotel, the francophile past from the hotel is found in the structure imitating the Eiffel Tower found in front of the hotel.

This is a very well done copy. It is not free of defects of course, but the general overview is good, it really looks like the original. Among the defects are the 4 pillars that do not meet on the 2nd floor as it should, and especially the pillars themselves which are simple parallelepiped instead of being a mesh of miniature beams, but we must admit that rare are the imitations that push the accuracy so far.



Berlin

This metal structure is not really a copy of the Eiffel Tower but its architecture is clearly inspired. She is in Berlin, Germany. It is a large telephone pylon whose shape recalls the upper part of the Eiffel Tower, the one between the 2nd and 3rd floor. As such it does not have four separate pillars, which is a characteristic of the lower part of the tower, and its intermediate floor is of a very particular style. These are two large, enclosed and glazed galleries, perfectly square, large and superimposed. As we see in the photo it is the lower gallery which is the smallest. The top of the tower also has an observation gallery and it is probably this one that is the most similar of the 3rd floor of the Eiffel Tower.

This tower is classified in the copies of the Eiffel Tower but the imitation is quite weak.



Satteldorf

This replica of the Eiffel Tower is undoubtedly the most successful one that can be found in Germany. It is on the roof of the "Rungis Express catering company" in the city of Satteldorf, near Crailsheim. We must see in the presence of the tower here a relationship with the city of Rungis in the suburbs of Paris. This company is probably French and the French had to import this tower which reminds France on the spot.

This is a very nice replica, good quality. The proportions have been well taken and there are even decorative bows, certainly simpler than the real trick, but really interesting. Only the third floor is not very similar, and again, other copies are much less than that.

This replica is well known, it is part of the main replicas of the tower.
