Main Tower

Main Tower

When the Main Tower was completed in March 1999, even the Frankfurt locals, long accustomed to skyscrapers, couldn't help but marvel. The Main Tower is the first high-rise building in Europe entirely clad in glass—appearing blue under daylight and radiating dazzling lights at night, making it quite a spectacular sight.

The Main Tower officially opened to the public on January 28, 2000. The tower actually consists of two interconnected high-rises—the square-shaped one is 170 meters tall, while the circular one stands at 199.5 meters. The entire exterior is covered with non-reflective glass. To ensure the stability of the Main Tower, a total of 112 concrete piles, each 120 to 180 centimeters in diameter and drilled 50 meters deep into the ground, were installed. The site was formerly a protected historical structure, so its façade was preserved—making this building a blend of history and modernity.

Both Frankfurt residents and tourists love coming here because it's the only high-rise in the city that features a public observation deck and a restaurant. Additionally, the 53rd and 54th floors house Europe’s highest-altitude radio and television studios. From the observation deck, visitors can enjoy panoramic views of the entire city of Frankfurt.
