1. A method for erecting at least a section of a tower including a plurality tower segments arranged one atop another with a given upper tower segment and a given lower tower segment forming a horizontal joint therebetween, each tower segment within the section including a supply structural segment preassembled thereon, the supply structural segments configured to be joinable to create a supply structure extending along a longitudinal axis extending along a height of the at least a section of the tower defined by the given upper tower segment and the given lower tower segment, the supply structural segments being fastened to the tower segment with at least one fastening strut, the fastening strut being connected to the supply structural segment via a first joint and to a wall of the tower segment via a second joint, the method including the steps of:
arranging the supply structural segment of a given upper tower segment in an assembly position in which the supply structural segment is arranged, relative to the longitudinal axis, fully inside the tower segment, and in which the supply structural segment extends at an angle to and not parallel to the wall;
placing the given upper tower segment on a given lower tower segment while the supply structural segment of the given upper tower segment is in the assembly position;
moving the supply structural segment of the given upper tower segment from the assembly position to a connecting position by swiveling the first joint and the second joint; and
connecting the supply structural segment of the given upper tower segment to the supply structural segment of the given lower tower segment.
