To raise the funds needed the business tycoon wants to rent the ground floor space to Hamburg’s Natural History Museum.

The Elbtower’s fate now rests in the hands of Hamburg authorities, as they decide whether or not to accept the deal.

But the clock is ticking, as Becken has only has until the end of April to conjure up the cash.

Construction began on the ambitious project in 2021.

But the project was halted in 2023, after Austrian investor Rene Benko, 47, went bankrupt.
