Gehry Tower, High-rise office building in Mitte, Germany.

The Gehry Tower is a nine-story office building at Goethestraße 13a by the Steintor in Hanover. Its stainless-steel façade of 2,800 ground panels twists around a ferroconcrete core, so the roofline overhangs the ground floor by up to 2.50 metres.

The Hanover transport company üstra commissioned the tower from Frank Gehry, for whom Gehry had already designed a bus stop. Planning took four years before the previous building was demolished in autumn 1999; construction began in March 2000. The building cost 8.5 million Deutsche Mark and was officially opened on 28 June 2001.

The tower's name comes from its architect, Frank Gehry, and it stands beside the Steintorplatz, recalling the former city gate called Steintor. It is used as an office and events building; tenants include subsidiaries of the transport company üstra, such as X-City Marketing Hannover and the passenger television service Public Broadcast.

The tower stands at Goethestraße 13a, right by the Steintorplatz in Hanover's Mitte district, a short walk from Hanover's main railway station. Trams and buses stop at Steintor, and the surrounding streets are flat and easy to cross on foot. The building is in office use, so visitors see the twisted steel façade from street level rather than going inside.

The metal cladding of the building reacts to different light conditions and creates varying visual effects depending on weather and time of day. This constantly changing appearance makes the structure visually different at each visit.
