Skyline in Essen's southern district with a view from the east: RWE tower on the left , Kruppstrasse 5 in the back, Huyssenallee 2 in front, RellingHaus II + I in front, Postbank high-rise on the right , RUHR Tower behind

The list of high-rise buildings in Essen includes Essen high-rise buildings that reach or exceed a structural height of 50 meters. It does not claim to be complete.

Most of the high-rise buildings are concentrated in the southern district south of the city ​​center . Here, in 1959, construction began on the Rheinstahl building and shortly afterwards with the RWE building at Kruppstrasse 5. Essen was the first city in Germany to have a skyline . Frankfurt am Main did not follow until 1962 .

Outside of Essen's southern district, the town hall was added later and, more recently, the corporate headquarters of Thyssen-Krupp and E.On Ruhrgas.

In Essen, the RWE tower is the tallest office building in the Ruhr area .
