The construction of today's tower on the Flensburg Fjord in Schleswig-Holstein began in 1964 and was commissioned in 1967.

Today's round tower was built as a reinforced concrete tower after a flat foundation using slipform construction. For technical reasons, the tower was clad in red and white fibreboard after construction. The constructive tower height is 26.8 m.
