Friedrich-Engelhorn-Hochhaus, Modern office skyscraper in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

The Friedrich-Engelhorn-Hochhaus stands 101.63 meters tall with 28 floors, featuring a reinforced concrete skeleton and glass mosaic curtain walls supported by pilotis.

The building opened on March 21, 1957, marking a milestone in Germany's post-war reconstruction as headquarters for BASF until its demolition in 2014.

The structure represents modern architectural principles of the 1950s through its design by Helmut Hentrich, incorporating functional spaces within two overlapping rectangular volumes.

Located at Carl-Bosch-Strasse 44, the building provided 23,266 square meters of office space across 20 standard floors, 4 tower stories, and additional service levels.

The foundation contains architectural plans, coins, certificates, and a bottle of Pfälzer wine, sealed during the cornerstone ceremony in December 1954.
