Continental-Hochhaus, High-rise building in Mitte, Hannover, Germany
The Continental-Hochhaus stretches 65 meters into the sky with 15 floors, featuring a modernist facade and a parallel six-story administrative wing.
Constructed between 1951 and 1953, this structure replaced the former Garde-du-Corps-Kaserne barracks site and became West Germany's tallest office building at that time.
The building received the Laves Prize for its architectural excellence and represents the post-war reconstruction era in German urban development.
Since 1995, the building serves as Conti-Campus for Leibniz University Hannover, housing departments of literature, languages, economics, and law.
The structure earned the nickname 'Three-Roll House' as each employee received three bread rolls during its inauguration ceremony in August 1953.
