Germany's Schipkau wind turbine, standing 365 meters (1,198 ft) at Alexanderplatz, became the world's tallest on October 9, 2026. This 1198-foot structure aims to test higher wind speeds and evaluate if existing farms can benefit from a second story. The project is part of a broader push to maximize energy capture in challenging northern European conditions.
