Old and new towers in Frankfurt (view from the cathedral , July 2019)

Frankfurt am Main is the only city in Germany with a skyline of high-rise buildings and some skyscrapers that defines the cityscape . The skyline as a whole and individual skyscrapers are perceived as Frankfurt's landmarks . More than 30 buildings reach a structural height of over 100 meters, including 17 of Germany's 18 skyscrapers .

Historical overview

The oldest high-rise buildings in Frankfurt are the Mousonturm (1923–1926), the IG-Farben-Haus (1928–1931) - today the main building of the Goethe University - and the trade union building (1930–1931). The three buildings between 31 and 35 meters high still exist today, but are no longer perceived as high-rise buildings in comparison with later buildings.

After the destruction of the city center by the air raids in World War II , numerous houses of ever greater heights were built from 1949 onwards. The AfE tower, which was completed in 1972 and blown up on February 2, 2014, was the first skyscraper over 100 meters high to tower over the Gothic cathedral tower . The Plaza Hotel and the Dresdner Bank high-rise were the first skyscrapers to be over 150 meters high at the end of the 1970s .

Since 1998, a high-rise master plan has regulated where and how high-rise buildings may be built. Most of the skyscrapers are in the banking district , along Mainzer Landstrasse and in the Europaviertel on the exhibition grounds . The towers of the Palaisquartier in the city ​​center and the new building of the European Central Bank in Ostend set a contrast .

For a long time, high-rise construction in Frankfurt was controversial. During the Frankfurt house-to-house war in the early 1970s, the names Bankfurt and Mainhattan emerged as the epitome of urban planning that promoted investor interests at the expense of the long-established population. Since the 1980s, the Frankfurt skyline has become the city's landmark and a symbol of prosperity and future orientation. The population increasingly identified with their high-rise buildings. Since 1996, the Skyscraper Festival has been celebrated at irregular intervals (so far 1996, 1998, 2001, 2007 and 2013) . The SkyArena , a multimedia production of the Frankfurt skyline, was broadcast worldwide for the opening of the 2006 World Cup . The Luminale light art festival , which has taken place every two years since 2000 , also puts the city's high-rise buildings in the limelight.

The increasing demand for real estate, the planned exit of Great Britain from the EU and the favorable economic development in Germany led to a new "boom" in high-rise construction from 2015 onwards. In addition to the 185 meter high new building of the European Central Bank , high-rise projects such as the Omniturm , the Maintor area and the development of the former Deutsche Bank area with four high-rise buildings between 120 and 228 meters embody this development. Germany's tallest residential tower is currently being built with the 172-meter-high Grand Tower .

High-rise buildings in Frankfurt am Main

and display information about the image

Part of the Frankfurt skyline from the southwest (June 2015)

This list includes all Frankfurt skyscrapers that reach a height of at least 50 meters without superstructures. The height figures stem largely of the database Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat ( Council for tall buildings and urban habitat ) and Emporis . All buildings are ranked according to their official height . This includes spiers if they are part of the building architecture, but not radio antennas without similar technical structures. Buildings that are still under construction but have already reached their total height are also listed.

In addition, buildings are listed that are not classified as high-rise buildings, since less than 50 percent of the total height is available as usable area (e.g. television towers, churches, stadiums). A complete overview can be found in the list of the tallest structures in Frankfurt am Main .

The new owner plans to rebuild the entire area with four high-rise buildings from 2017, including a 228-meter-high hotel and office building at the original “MAX” location.

Planned high-rise buildings

The Frankfurt skyscraper master plan from 1998, designed by the architects Jourdan & Müller under the title Frankfurt 2000 , shows 16 locations in the city where new skyscrapers can be built. The locations are concentrated in the three agglomeration zones of the banking district , Messe / Europaviertel and Parkviertel . The Parkviertel was to be created in connection with the Frankfurt 21 project of Deutsche Bahn as a new urban district on the platform in front of the main train station, but the realization was abandoned in 2002 for cost reasons. As a result, six locations from the 1998 master plan are no longer available ( see below ). The remaining ten high-rise projects approved by the City of Frankfurt are marked with HHRP98 in this list . Only after ten years did the first project from the 1998 plan, Tower 185, begin in 2008 , followed by construction of the Taunus Tower in 2011 .

In the meantime, however, further high-rise buildings have been built ( e.g. Westhafen Tower , Gallileo , Palaisquartier , Skyper , Opernturm ) or approved ( new building for the European Central Bank , Torhaus II, high-rise building on Güterplatz). There are also plans to replace the AfE tower (see above) with three high-rise buildings between 70 and 140 m high.

In 2007 a draft for a revision of the high-rise master plan was presented, which had again been drawn up by the architects Jourdan & Müller. In December 2008, the city of Frankfurt approved 23 new high-rise projects at a total of 16 locations on this basis, some of the towers being drastically reduced in height. The new projects are marked with HHRP08 in this list .

In return, DZ Bank must undertake to concentrate new jobs in the tower and have the Union Investment high-rise converted into a residential tower in order to meet the city's demand for 30 percent residential property.

High-rise buildings that never came to fruition.

Surname	Height (m)	Location	use	architect	Remarks
Skyscraper Deutsche Bahn III	290	Gutleutviertel , Hafenstrasse	offices		Was part of the ambitious Frankfurt 21 project , i. H. the tunneling under the Frankfurt city center and the use of the vacated track apron of the main train station for a new city district (Parkviertel). The project was first presented by Deutsche Bahn in 1996 and was finally rejected in 2002 for reasons of cost.
Campanile	264	Gutleutviertel , Mannheimer Strasse	offices	JSK	In the 1980s, the tallest building in Europe (264 m structural height, 300 m with antenna) was to be built under the name "Campanile" on the parking lot on the south side of the main station. The project failed because of a neighbor who refused the necessary approval for the construction.
Skyscraper Deutsche Bahn II	250	Gutleutviertel	offices		Was part of the Frankfurt 21 project.
Skyscraper Deutsche Bahn IV	230	Gallus , Hafenstrasse	offices		Was part of the Frankfurt 21 project.
Frankfurt Railway Tower	200	Gutleutviertel , Mannheimer Strasse	offices		In 2007 the city planner Jochem Jourdan suggested building a high-rise building on the property south of Frankfurt's main train station, which was used as a parking lot . The tallest building in Europe under the name “Campanile” had already been planned here in the 1980s, but the realization failed due to an objection from a local resident. The Frankfurt city council could initially only agree on a maximum height of 100 meters for a new high-rise. After Deutsche Bahn signaled interest in renting such a tower and other political demands (integration of a bus station, apartments, etc.) were approved by the property owner Vivico , the CDU and Green parliamentary groups spoke out in favor of a height of 200 meters. The approval of the neighbors was no longer required due to a change in building law. Since Deutsche Bahn rented the entire Silberturm in the Bahnhofsviertel from Commerzbank in 2012 , the planning became obsolete. ( HHRP08 )
Deutsche Post West skyscraper	175	Gutleutviertel	offices		Was part of the Frankfurt 21 project.
Skyscraper Deutsche Bahn I	170	Gutleutviertel	offices		Was part of the Frankfurt 21 project.

Skyscraper on the former Telenorma site	160	Gallus , Güterplatz / Mainzer Landstrasse	offices	Koehler Architects	In 2003, an architecture competition was held for the former Telenorma area between Mainzer Landstrasse, Güterplatz and Europa-Alle, which the architect Dieter Köhler won with a design for a 160 meter high office tower. In the period that followed, the property owner, Robert Bosch GmbH, tried in vain to find an investor for the high-rise office building on the fallow property. In 2013, the owner declared that the high-rise should no longer be built and that a new development with apartments was planned instead. In 2015, Robert Bosch GmbH sold the property to ABG Frankfurt Holding , which presented plans to build a hotel tower up to 90 meters high and a 60-meter high residential tower.
High-rise Theodor-Heuss-Allee 2	140	Westend-Süd , Theodor-Heuss-Allee 2	offices		The 62 meter high “Poseidon House” built in 1986 at the intersection of Theodor-Heuss-Allee and Hamburger Allee was the headquarters of Aventis (now Sanofi ) from 2000 to 2003 . In 2008 the property was included in the high-rise master plan as a potential high-rise location. In 2010 ING-DiBa rented the entire building for its new German headquarters. In order to be able to provide the required 40,000 square meters of office space, part of the Poseidon House was demolished and replaced with a higher part. In 2013 ING-DiBa moved into the building complex that has been called "Leo" since then. ( HHRP08 )
Grand Hyatt Frankfurt	113	Gallus , Osloer Strasse / Europa-Allee	hotel	UNStudio	In 2008 the Hyatt Group signed a management contract for a 5-star-plus luxury hotel with over 400 rooms, and in 2009 the architecture firm UNStudio won an architecture competition for the planned hotel tower next to the Skyline Plaza shopping center . In 2013, Hyatt announced the termination of the management contract and thus the failure of the project. A 176 meter high residential high-rise ( Tower 2 ) has been built on the property since the beginning of 2016 .
Allianz high-rise	60	Westend-Süd , Taunusanlage	offices		A 90-meter-high building on the Allianz property at Taunusanlage was already being discussed for the high-rise master plan from 1998, but a decision was not made at the time. From 2003 to 2006, Allianz redeveloped the property, keeping the construction site for the high-rise building free. The alliance brought up a height of 170 meters on several occasions, similar to the neighboring Opera Tower , but the city of Frankfurt stuck to its negative attitude because of the threat of shadowing the Opernplatz . The high-rise was finally included in the new high-rise master plan from 2008, but only with a maximum height of 60 meters. In the meantime (as of 2016), Allianz is no longer planning a high-rise on the site, as all high-rise variants at this point would result in shading of the Opernplatz. ( HHRP98 )
Mainzer Landstrasse 36	60	Westend-Süd , Mainzer Landstrasse 36	offices		The high-rise building was abandoned again due to the threat of shading the residential area behind in the Westend. From 2015 to 2016, a new eight-story building called “Vista” was built on the property. ( HHRP98 )
