Krochhochhaus, High-rise building in Leipzig, Germany
The 43-meter Krochhochhaus features a limestone facade and a clock tower with two sentinel figures on the west side of Augustusplatz.
Constructed in 1927 as headquarters for Kroch Bank, this building marked Leipzig's entry into the era of vertical urban development.
The rooftop displays the Latin inscription 'OMNIA VINCIT LABOR' and houses Leipzig University's Egyptian Museum within its premises.
The building connects Goethestrasse to Ritterstrasse through an arcade gallery called Theaterpassage, providing direct pedestrian access.
The top four floors were initially presented as wooden mock-ups to evaluate their impact on Leipzig's architectural landscape before final approval.
