The RWE Tower is a high-rise office building on Amiens Square in Dortmund . It is used as the corporate headquarters of RWE Vertrieb AG. The RWE subsidiary RWE Gas laid the foundation stone for the building on December 9, 2003 .
The official opening took place on August 24, 2005 . With a height of almost 91 meters (100 meters including antenna), it is the fourth tallest building in Dortmund after the Florian Tower (208 meters) in the Westfalenpark , the tower of the Reinoldikirche (105 meters) and the tower of the Petrikirche (105 meters). It complements the city skyline with the signal building and the building of the Sparkasse Dortmund building directly opposite and the Harenberg City Center (HCC). The facade of the building is made of anthracite-colored Chinese granite and 1680 silver-colored windows. It has a solid concrete core and a load-bearing outer wall made of precast reinforced concrete. As a result, the employee offices get by without supports. The cooling takes place through concrete core activation . The design for the RWE Tower comes from Gerber Architects .
The 21-storey high-rise contains the 17-meter high staff canteen on the 21st floor with a gallery, glass roof and view of Dortmund. The offices of the employees are also located on the facades of the lenticular tower.
The elevator system is operated with a central destination selection control .
A total of around 22,000 m² was created. On the ground floor there is approx. 1,000 m² for smaller shops and on the upper floors there are approx. 21,000 m² of office space for approx. 700 RWE employees.
The construction cost around fifty million euros and belongs to the Dortmund real estate company Dreier.
For the semi-final DFB Cup match between Borussia Dortmund and FC Carl Zeiss Jena on March 18, 2008, the RWE Tower was transformed into the largest scoreboard in the world. With eighty-meter-high numbers, the current score was displayed on the facade of Dortmund's tallest office building through appropriately lit windows during the game.
