Messeturm Köln, Trade fair tower in Deutz, Germany
The Messeturm stands 85 meters tall on the banks of the Rhine River, opposite to the Cologne Cathedral with its brick facade construction.
The tower opened on May 12, 1928, as part of the expanding trade fair complex, which had established its first halls four years earlier.
The tower features the Hermes-Gesichter sculpture created by Hans Wissel, a professor at the Kölner Werkschulen, adding artistic value to its structure.
Located near the Köln Messe/Deutz station, the tower provides access to the exhibition center that hosts 80 trade fairs and 2000 conferences annually.
The building's top floor contained a restaurant offering views of Cologne, while its base connects to exhibition halls spanning 284,000 square meters.
