The Jubilaumswarte ( Jubille tower " in english located in ottakring.The first tower was made of wood and was completed in 1898.Apparently, those who built the tower were not familiar with the wind conditions of the area as a storm destroyed it the same year. As the tower was supposed to celebrate Franz Joseph's 50th anniversary, a steel tower was brought from the Jubilee Exhibition that took place in the Prater in 1889,but could be inaugurated only a year later and came without its original elevator,. This steel tower had a longer lifespan than the first one, but was also replaced in 1956 by a new one made of concrete, yes this time neither wind nor rust should lead to another replacement.
