Muss der Eifelturm bald ABGERISSEN werden?

Is the Eiffel Tower Really Being Demolished? (The Truth About the Rust) In 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the sensation of Paris – but its building permit was only valid for 20 years. The landmark was actually supposed to be torn down by 1909! Today, 136 years later, the colossal iron structure still stands. But reports of massive rust and internet rumors about an alleged demolition in 2026 are causing a stir. Is the structure really on the verge of collapse? In this video, we examine the ingenious engineering of Gustave Eiffel. We explain why the tower suddenly grows on hot summer days, why its flexibility in storms is its greatest secret, and what's really behind the alarming rust headlines. In this technical analysis, you'll learn the following facts: 🕰️ The Planned End: The Eiffel Tower was assembled from over 18,000 individual parts and 2.5 million rivets. It was planned as a temporary structure, to be dismantled after 20 years. 🖌️ Eiffel's ironclad rule: Wrought iron rusts quickly. Gustave Eiffel therefore stipulated that the tower must be completely repainted every seven years. Today, industrial climbers need around 60 tons of the special paint "Brun Eiffel" for a single coat. ☀️ A structure that breathes: Due to thermal expansion in the summer, the 330-meter-high structure grows by up to 15 centimeters. In the cold winter, the iron contracts again. 🌬️ The saving grace of flexibility: Rigid structures break in strong winds. The Eiffel Tower is aerodynamically designed so that the wind blows through it, and the top sways by up to 12 centimeters to the side in a storm. This flexibility prevents cracks in the material. ☀️ 🚨 The Rust Problem & Fake News: In 2022, a French magazine published internal documents about visible rust damage. Shortly afterward, fake news circulated about a planned demolition in 2026. The fact is: There are no demolition plans. Engineers confirm that with consistent maintenance, the tower could theoretically stand indefinitely (at least another 200 years). 00:00 The planned demolition in 1909. 00:44 7,300 tons of iron and 2.5 million rivets. 01:43 Eiffel's survival rule: One coat of paint made from 60 tons of paint. 03:36 Physics live: Growing in summer and swaying in storms. 05:24 The alarming report about rust damage (2022). 06:20 Fake news: Will the tower be demolished in 2026? 7:26 The engineers' prediction: Why the tower can stand forever.
