Frog tower, Cultural heritage tower in Mainz, Germany.
The Frog Tower features a 3.8-meter-tall glass-reinforced polyester frog sculpture mounted on top of a glass-enclosed structure near Werner & Mertz headquarters.
Built in 1959, the Erdal Frog sculpture underwent extensive restoration between 2019 and 2024, requiring an investment of 550,000 EUR from both state funds and Werner & Mertz.
The tower represents one of Germany's rare surviving backlit advertising sculptures from the post-war period, symbolizing local industrial heritage and commercial innovation.
The illuminated tower stands along Rheinallee, offering visitors a chance to view the restored frog sculpture during both daytime and evening hours.
The conservation project required specialists to develop new techniques specifically for industrial monuments due to the unusual size and materials of the frog structure.
