The Great Berlin Wheel is a 175 m (574 ft) tall giant Ferris wheel to be built near the Berlin Zoological Garden (Zoologischer Garten Berlin) in Berlin, Germany, by the Great Wheel Corporation.
The groundbreaking ceremony was on 3 December 2007 and completion was originally planned for 2008, but the project has since stalled after encountering financial obstacles.
If completed, it will be taller than the 165 m (541 ft) Singapore Flyer in Singapore, world's tallest Ferris wheel since 2008, but smaller than the 208 m (682 ft) Beijing Great Wheel in Beijing, China, which has also been delayed but is now scheduled for completion in 2010. It would also become Europe's tallest Ferris wheel, superseding the 135 m (443 ft) London Eye.
