Much more interesting than the Fernsehturm (TV tower) is das Rote Rathaus—maybe because it’s significance is something I’ve only learned to appreciate the longer I’ve lived in Germany. Or maybe because when first learning German, I used it as a mental hook to remember the gender and declension of the noun Haus, but for some reason I could never remember the gender for Turm.
