Flak Tower-Large

Large German Flak towers were massive reinforced-concrete structures built during the Second World War to support air-defense weapons and protect people and equipment. Complexes in cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna incorporated major anti-aircraft positions and associated fire-control arrangements. Their concrete mass made some examples difficult to remove after the war. Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna received prominent examples. Gun platforms and protected interiors combined anti-aircraft firepower with shelter functions. Their massive construction left surviving structures after the war, some later adapted to civilian purposes. Not every smaller anti-aircraft tower used this same enormous architectural form. The structures combined military and civil-defense purposes.
