A highlight of the State Garden Show 2014 in Baden-Württemberg was the lookout tower "Himmelsstürmer" with a height of almost 40 m (131 ft). It is made of approx. 176 m³ (6,215 ft³) cross-laminated timber and consists of an inner and an outer tower.
A stairway with 209 steps in the area between the internal and external walls leads to the tower top.
The structural analysis of the look-out tower was performed by Andreas Wirth from Freiburg using RFEM and the RF-LAMINATE add-on module.
