List of tallest buildings in Germany

This lists ranks the tallest buildings in Germany that stand at least 329 feet (100 m) tall.

Overview

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 a major European financial centre only Frankfurt has developed a skyline of high-rise buildings and skyscrapers in its city centre. Out of 13 skyscrapers in Germany, meaning buildings at least 492 feet (150 m) tall, 12 are located in Frankfurt. High-rise buildings can also be found in Berlin, Cologne, Munich and Düsseldorf - but mostly in the outskirts.
