Europahaus Leipzig, Modern architectural monument at Augustusplatz, Leipzig, Germany
The Europahaus Leipzig rises 56 meters high with its concrete structure covered in shell limestone panels and features 13 floors of office spaces.
The construction began in 1928 under architect Otto Paul Burghardt's design and marked Leipzig's second high-rise building after the Kroch High Rise.
The building represents a shift toward modern architecture in Leipzig during the late 1920s, emphasizing vertical lines and simplified geometric forms.
The structure houses the headquarters of Stadtwerke Leipzig since 2014 and underwent substantial renovations between 1998 and 1999 to maintain its functionality.
The original design included a rooftop restaurant that held the title of Europe's highest elevated dining establishment through the 1950s.
