Individual Sights in DarmstadtSight 1: Mozartturm
The Mozart Tower is located at Rheinstraße 111 in Darmstadt. It was built in 1936 and is a listed building. It is an air raid shelter and anti-aircraft bunker, which was also used as an alternative control center for the civil defense. Originally, the flak tower was named after the German military aviator Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen ("Richthofenbunker"). During the Second World War, an anti-aircraft gun was located on its roof, which was used in particular to defend the main station and the western entrance to the city. The construction of the tower corresponds to the Dietel design, a further development of the Zombeck design, which was patented in 1937.
