TV Tower Sightline Map: Free Views of the Fernsehturm by Hour
Pick a date and a time and see which free views of the Berlin TV Tower outside Mitte are lit from the front, which are backlit, and how big the tower looks from each one.
Pick the view on your side of the city, then go at the hour that lights it.
Pick a date, then drag the sun.
What the tool shows
The TV Tower is 368 metres tall and you can see it from most of Berlin. This map puts ten free viewpoints outside Mitte on one screen, plus Teufelsberg, which charges for entry, and draws the line of sight from each one to the tower. Pick a date and drag the sun along its path, and every line shows whether the tower is lit from the front, from the side or from behind at that moment.
How to use it
Pick a date. Sunrise, sunset and the highest sun of that day appear above the sun track.
Drag the sun along the track, or use the arrow keys, to move through the day. The colours of the lines change with the light.
Tap a viewpoint on the map or in the list to see its distance, bearing, nearest station, entry and the best light in November.
The phone frame shows how tall the tower comes out in a picture from that spot at 1x, 2x, 3x or 5x zoom.
Where the facts come from
Viewpoint coordinates come from OpenStreetMap, the tower position from its OpenStreetMap outline, the 203 metre deck height from tv-turm.de, Tempelhofer Feld hours from the official Tempelhofer Feld site and Teufelsberg prices and hours from the operator site. Sun positions are calculated in the tool, so allow a few minutes either way. Trees and new buildings change sightlines. Checked on 9 November 2026.
