Frankfurt skyline in 2022

The construction of high-rise buildings is not common in German cities, and especially not in the city centres, where traditionally steeples are the tallest structures. Due to its economic profile as an international financial centre, only Frankfurt has developed a skyline of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers in its city centre. Out of a total of 19 skyscrapers in Germany, meaning buildings at least 150 metres (492 ft) tall, 18 are located in Frankfurt.

The development of high-rises in Germany began in 1915, with the Zeiss Bau 15 in Jena. Notable examples of early high-rise buildings include the Wilhelm Marx House in Düsseldorf, the Borsigturm and Ullsteinhaus in Berlin, the Hansahochhaus in Cologne, the Anzeiger-Hochhaus in Hanover, the Tagblatt-Turm in Stuttgart, and the Kroch High-rise and Europahaus in Leipzig.
