The weird and wonderful world of Eiffel Tower replicas and derivatives – Geoguessr

Thursday, March 11, 2021 10:08

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

It was one of those COVID-lockdown walks – go and explore every last street in my neighbourhood. At Bergholzstrasse 11 (edge of Tempelhof towards Neukölln) I stumbled across a replica Eiffel Tower made of bed springs, and tweeted about it.

And then, as happens once in a while, Twitter users came up with all sorts of suggestions about other weird and wonderful Eiffel Towers worldwide. Wikipedia has a page of Eiffel Tower Replicas and Derivatives, and Wonders of the World has a detailed list too. Jimmy Wales even retweeted about it.

But why not turn all of this into a Geoguessr Map, and allow people to virtually explore these towers as well?

So began a fascinating but mighty complicated piece of work to locate as many of the Eiffel Towers as possible on Google Street View. At the moment the included towers are as follows:

Americas 22
Bolivia 1
Brazil 3
Canada 4
Guatemala 1
Mexico 3
USA 10

Africa 3
South Africa 3

Europe 37
Austria 1
Belgium 1
Bulgaria 1
Czechia 1
Denmark 2
Estonia 1
France 9
Germany 2
Greece 1
Italy 2
Kosovo 1
Montenegro 1
Netherlands 32
Poland 1
Portugal 1
Romania 1
Russia (European Part) 4
Spain 1
UK 1
Ukraine 2

Asia 22
China 2
India 2
Iran 1
Japan 3
Kazakhstan 1
Macau 1
Malaysia 1
Mongolia 1
Pakistan 1
Philippines 2
Russia (Asian Part) 2
Taiwan 1
Tajikistan 1
Thailand 1
Vietnam 2

Australia 2

Total: 86

Here they all are, mapped:

There is something weirdly assuring about this, that this quintessentially French symbol is simultaneously so global. That of all countries the place with the most Eiffel Towers is… the USA. But discovering towers in Tajikistan, Mongolia, Kosovo and Iran was truly brilliant, and were Google Street View more widely spread the list of countries would be longer still.

Below follow the tables of all of the towers included in the Geoguessr Map (Wikipedia known height (42), Wikipedia unknown height (16), Others (27)), and then followed by the 54 towers I could either not find, or were not listed in Google Street View. If you can help identify any of those, or wish to come with completely new suggestions, do leave a comment or get in touch!

And what of the Bergholzstrasse 11 discovery I hear you wondering? That wasn’t constructed when the Google Street View car passed, and the Photosphere I uploaded has not been approved yet. As and when it is that tower will be added!
