Fuhrländer Wind Turbine Laasow is a wind turbine, built in 2006 near the village of Laasow, Brandenburg, Germany. It consists of a 160-metre lattice tower, which carries a rotor 90 metres in diameter. Until two slightly taller wind turbines opened in Poland in 2012,[1] this Fuhrländer was the tallest wind turbine in the world. Its power output is 2.5 MW.[2]
