Construction began in June 1969, in a residential and business quarter spared by the Second World War.

Construction took place in sliding scarf building method, and was completed on October 2, 1972 at the original height of 127 meters.

The circular tower is a reinforced concrete construction with two basements, a 3.20-meter-thick mat foundation and a diameter of 33 meters.
