The caption on this online version of the image at Getty Images says:
Germany Berlin Tempelhof (Tempelhof-Schoeneberg) – load testing structure at General-Pape-Strass, built 1941 by Albert Speer, who wanted to test the load carrying capacity building ground for the planned triumphal arch of Hitler’s GERMANIA project
Google maps call it Schwerbelastungskörper and places it here at
General-Pape-Straße 34A, 12101 Berlin, Germany
The structure has its own website, and is open for visits. English speakers can find some information on Wikipedia
