Occasion

Because of the new development of the campus center, it is necessary to move the old Meteomast to a different location.

Approximately 50m high and now located at the south entrance to the research campus, the newly designed Oskar von Miller Tower should act as a visible symbol for the Technical University Munich and the science and research facilities located in Garching.
