The 246-meter-high elevator test tower, opened in 2017, is specifically designed for the elevator technology of tomorrow: In the twelve shafts within the tower, which has a diameter of 21 meters, engineers can test elevators at dizzying speeds of up to 18 m/s. This tower will make Rottweil the center for the future of vertical passenger transportation.
