The modern structure appeared in 1982, having come to replace the 75-meter tower built in 1960-1961, which up to the end of the seventies satisfied the requirements of television and broadcasting. Only in 1977 a competition was announced for the project of the new television.

In early 1979, construction work began on the draft architect Harald Dylemann, the result of which was the modern Tower of the Rhine, the official opening of which was held on March 1, 1982. Modern TV do not only the highest building Düsseldorf, but also, according to the Guinness Book, the biggest hours in the world. The tower is broken into three parts that are equipped with 62 lamps, divided (top down) for hours, minutes and seconds. Hours work, however, only with the onset of darkness.
