Karl Tower

The Karl Tower (named after the client, the Karl group of companies ) is a skyscraper in Deggendorf with a height of 36 meters that is currently being built. The skyscraper is to be built in the planned new “Die Bogen” district, near the Deggendorf University of Technology and the historic old town. The tower should be completed around 2019 [obsolete] ; construction began in summer 2017.

Referendum

The tower received supraregional attention due to a public petition that was directed against the same and aimed to limit the height to 22 meters. The opponents wanted to preserve the townscape of Deggendorf, which they see threatened by the new building. The request did not reach the required number of votes, so the city council resolution applies and the building may be erected with a wall height of 36 meters.
