For years, the spa town of Bad Frankenhausen, in the eastern state of Thuringia, has fought to save the dangerously tilting tower. But after the state this week rejected the town's latest proposal to stabilize the landmark, citing concerns over the long-term viability of the plan, there is no choice but partial demolition. The news was announced by the Protestant Church in Central Germany (EKM) earlier this week.

How about a competition to stabilize it via whatever means necessary, even if it partly obscures the tower with cool new interactive-para-whatever scaffolding? If the tower's going to fall over anyway, let's have fun with it!
