You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Europaturm''' ("Tower of Europe") is a  ((convert|337.5|metre|ft|adj=on)) high telecommunications tower in [[Frankfurt]], [[Germany]].

==History==
[[File:EuropaturmfromMaintower.JPG|thumb|left|Europaturm from [[Main Tower]]]] 
Designed by architect Erwin Heinle, the tower's construction began in 1974. At its completion five years later, it became the tallest free-standing structure in the [[Federal Republic of Germany]]. With its height of ((convert|331|metres|ft)), Europaturm became Germany's second tallest structure, after the [[Fernsehturm Berlin]] (((convert|368|metres|ft))). Even without the height of the antenna at its top, the building is over ((convert|295|metres|ft)) high, which makes it Germany's tallest structure by roof level. Its base, at ((convert|59|metres|ft)) thick, is the widest of any similar structure in the world.

The top of the tower can turn and provides a panoramic view of the Rhine Main area. For a number of years, the upper part of the structure housed a restaurant and discothèque, but since 1999, the Europaturm has been closed to the public.

In September, 2004, the antenna at the top of the tower was replaced, increasing its total height to ((convert|337.5|metres|ft)). The six-ton antenna was lifted to the top in two parts by helicopter.

==Broadcast capability==
[[File:Frankfurt Am Main-Europaturm-Ansicht vom Messeturm-20130525.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Europaturm]]
With the new antenna, the tower became capable of broadcasting high-definition digital television signals using the [[DVB-T]] standard (which is the European counterpart to the [[ATSC Standards|ATSC digital standard]] used in the United States). It is capable of broadcasting four channels per transmitter, for a total of twenty-four channels, at 100 kilowatts per channel. It is capable of receiving satellite broadcasts and redistributing them via cable or terrestrial broadcasts.

The tower is owned and operated by T-Systems, a subsidiary of [[Deutsche Telekom]]. At night, it is illuminated with [[magenta]] lighting, the company's corporate colours.

Among Frankfurt's residents, the tower is colloquially known as the "''Ginnemer Spaschel''" ([[Frankfurt]] [[dialect]] for "The Ginnheimer [[Asparagus]]", or "''Ginnheimer Spargel''" in standard German), even though it is located in the [[Bockenheim (Frankfurt am Main)|Bockenheim]] district rather than close by [[Ginnheim (Frankfurt am Main)|Ginnheim]]. It is also simply called the "''Fernsehturm''" ("Television Tower").

==Elevator test tower==
Since around 2002 a small elevator company has used the tower for testing and demonstrations.<ref>Press release 06.11.2002 Schindler presents new high-performance elevator</ref>
