Description
'Grim Reminder - Flakturm L-Tower Augarten Vienna' - Photograph by Menega Sabidussi.
The second enormous flak tower in Vienna's beautiful Augarten park. The Vienna flak towers are practically indestructible (unless you want to demolish adjoining districts along with them) so they remain standing, testaments to a horribly grim time.
Flak towers (German: Flaktuerme) were 8 complexes of large, above-ground, anti-aircraft gun blockhouse towers constructed in the cities of Berlin (3), Hamburg (2), and Vienna (3) from 1940 onwards. They were used by the Luftwaffe to defend against Allied air raids on these cities during World War II. They also served as air-raid shelters for tens of thousands of people and to coordinate air defence.
