The Tagblatt Tower in Stuttgart-Mitte , Eberhardstrasse 61, is an early skyscraper and a landmark of the city. From 1928 to 1943 the tower was the seat of the editorial office and the publishing house of the eponymous daily newspaper Stuttgarter Neues Tagblatt .
The architect Ernst Otto Oßwald planned the tower opposite the Schocken department store in 1924 as the first high-rise in Stuttgart and the first reinforced concrete high-rise in Germany. The construction took place from 1927 to 1928. The building has 18 floors at a height of 61 m, which makes it about as high as the tower of the old town hall from 1905. The Tagblatt tower is the first high-rise in Germany to be made of exposed concrete . The building is made up of two accompanying slim structures and emphasized horizontally by narrow ribbon windows. The building was very controversial at the time of construction because of its modern architecture ( Neues Bauen ), but is now considered a high-ranking architectural and city-historical monument and has been formally protected as such since 1976.
The name of the building goes back to its original use, which lasted until 1943, by the Neue Tagblatt , which was regarded as " liberal - democratic " until 1933 . After the war it served the Stuttgarter Zeitung in the same way until it moved to the Stuttgart Press House, which was built in Stuttgart-Möhringen from 1974 to 1976 in 1978.
After extensive renovation work on the surrounding buildings in the years 2002 to 2004, the Tagblatt Tower gave its name to the culture under the tower with several theaters and cultural education facilities.
Since 2005, the tower has been provided with contour lighting on the outer edges, which consists of around 350 meters of fiber optic cable. When the building was inaugurated in 1928, neon tubes illuminated its shapes, but these were dismantled in the 1960s.
Today the building is considered to be one of the most important examples of New Building in Stuttgart.
The tower had another superlative: in 1927, the Stahl company built the 15-storey highest paternoster in the world in the Tagblatt tower . However, the system was replaced by two passenger elevators from Füller & Knörzer in the 1960s.
The Baden-Württemberg Monument Foundation named the Tagblatt Tower Monument of the Month for September 2014 .
