A wind turbine in eastern Germany has reached a height of 365 metres, making it the world's tallest, according to its developer, Gicon.

Aerial footage shows the structure towering over the surrounding landscape, with workers visible near the top.

The turbine stands in Schipkau, Brandenburg, and is now Germany's second-highest structure, just three metres shorter than Berlin's TV Tower.

Its height allows it to reach stronger and more consistent winds, potentially producing more electricity than nearby turbines.

The project has been in development for a decade and is expected to begin operating in November.
