List of high-rise buildings in Cologne
This list of high-rise buildings in Cologne includes residential, commercial and office buildings ( i.e. no broadcasting or church towers) that reach or exceed a height of 50 meters without superstructures. When it was completed in 1925, the Hansa high-rise was for a short time the highest high-rise in Europe. At the moment, the largest skyscraper in Cologne is the Kölnturm . The tallest structure in Cologne is the Colonius television tower at 266 meters, followed by Cologne Cathedral at 157.38 meters.
A height of 150 meters or more is usually assumed as the criterion for skyscrapers . So far, none of Cologne's high-rises has reached this mark; the tallest skyscraper in North Rhine-Westphalia, the 162.5-meter-high Post Tower, is in neighboring Bonn .
The “ height concept ” of the city of Cologne from May 2007 stipulates that new buildings between the left bank of the Rhine and the outer edge of the Cologne ring may not be higher than 22.50 meters. Outside the rings, several high-rise buildings have been proposed in urban development plans, and there are also corresponding projects in the Deutz district .
