After a long break we finally made it to set up a new Guinness world record (at the moment we wait for the confirmation of Guinness world records): The tallest domino structure with a height of 10.05 meter consiting out of 8,044 dominoes set up by Michael Hoermann and Philipp Zimmermann. Special thanks to our two witnesses: Josef Schweinberger and Reinhold Lappat. The setting: 2010 we set up a record with 5.08 meter, officially confirmed by Guinness world records. Then we found out that our record has been broken by Yspertal Domino Team (Austria) in Yspertal, Austria, on 3 November 2013 with a height of 6.026 m (19 ft 9.24 in). Therefore we wanted to reclaim the record of the tallest domino structure. Our plan: set up a 10 meter high domino tower First attempt: consited of approximately 18,000 domino stones and it toppled due to a small mistake Second attempt: We had a time limit, because we could use the hall, where we made our record attempts, only for four days. So after two days we had nothing and only two days left: therefore we decided, based upon our experience in domino building, to set up a tower with such a small diameter that it reduces the amount of dominos drastically but this meant a much more instable construction method. In the end the tower consisted of 417 rows before we set four dominoes on top of the tower and toppled it. (As a tipp: if you want to count the number of rows: one coloured block consists of 22 rows).
