Holstein Tower.

The Holstein Tower (

Hansa Park in Sierksdorf, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany and was built in 1988, opposite many other similar structures additionally guyed
at the machine unit.

Technical information

The glazed gondola rotates clockwise at a speed of approx. 1.2 metres per second (3.9 ft/s) to a height of approx. 70 metres (230 ft), so that you have a view over the entire Bay of Neustadt and, in good weather, even as far as Lübeck. The tower diameter is 2.5 metres (8.2 ft).

The gondola can accommodate up to 72 guests. The ride has an hourly capacity of around 900 people.[2]

Particularities

The entire tower resembles a traditional ship's mast. On the machine house at the top of the tower there is a large flagpole with the flag of Schleswig-Holstein in a size of approx. 30 square metres (320 sq ft), which is however retracted in the visible protective cover during the closed winter season and in bad weather. For technical reasons, the passenger gondola remains positioned at the highest point during the closed winter season, and overnight in the middle of the tower during the open season.

The Holstein Tower was the highest attraction in Hansa Park from its opening until the 2019 season, but was then replaced by the

gyro drop tower
with a total height of 120 meters.
