The Albinmüller Tower is an observation tower in the Rotehorn Park in Magdeburg and is one of the city's landmarks. The observation tower helps shape Magdeburg's city skyline and is located near the Elbe River on the Elbe island Werder next to the Magdeburg City Hall. With its elegance and functionality, the tower is an important example of the New Building of the 1920s.
The tower was built in 1926/27 according to a design by the architect Albin Müller (called Albinmüller) as part of the redesign of the area for the German Theater Exhibition in Magdeburg in 1927. The structure represents one of Albin Müller's most important works. The architecture of the tower takes up the ideas of a glass and light architecture of Bruno Taut, who was temporarily active in Magdeburg. In the evening, the glass spire is illuminated in color. The tower forms a vertical contrast to the Stadthalle Magdeburg, which stands directly next to it and was built at the same time, and something like a campanile.
