Flakturm im Esterhazypark

Esterhazypark, Vienna, Austria

 

The most durable reminders of World War II in Vienna are undoubtedly the city's gigantic Flakturme or Flak Towers. Six of these monstrous reinforced concrete edifices, with 5m thick walls capable of holding up to 30,000 troops, are dotted throughout the city. As their demolition is unfeasible, suggestions for alternative uses are constantly being bandied about. The Flakturm in the Esterhazypark has been converted into an aquarium and reptile house and there are plans to place a bar on top. The upper part bears the rather incomprehensible legend "smashed to pieces in the middle of the night" in English and German, the work of American artist Laurence.
