Fantastic design. It's something different but still appeals to the eye.
In my opinion the Design is really great. To me it looks like a sail/fin of a submarine jutting out of the ground and looking into the sky. By the way I think that it looks much taller than it is.

Ein Meisterwerk expressionistischer, "organischer" Architektur auf dem Telegrafenberg: Der 20m hohe Einsteinturm ist ein Sonnenobservatorium, eigens gebaut, um die Relativitätstheorie experimentell zu bestätigen. Von 1997 bis 1999 für rund 3 Mio. Euro gründlich saniert, wird das weltberühmte denkmalgeschützte Gebäude weiterhin als Observatorium genutzt.
