 Odense 's most famous landmark was Odinstårnet ( The Odin Tower ) constructed in 1935 , as the second @-@ tallest tower in Europe , only surpassed by the Eiffel Tower with its 177 meters . Odinstårnet was blown up by a Danish Nazi group in 1944 and has never been rebuilt . However , a miniature model now stands in Odinsparken in the area where the original was located . During the German occupation in the Second World War , Odense 's general strike in August 1943 contributed to terminating collaboration with the Germans .
