Plärrerhochhaus, Architectural heritage monument at Plärrer, Nuremberg, Germany.
The Plärrerhochhaus is an office high-rise at Plärrer Square in Nuremberg with 15 floors and a height of 56 meters. Its facade displays clean, geometric lines following Neues Bauen principles and stands prominently at a major transportation hub.
The building was constructed after World War Two as part of Nuremberg's reconstruction effort and represents a shift toward modern architectural design. Wilhelm Schlegtendal's design emphasized functionality and clear geometric forms that defined post-war urban development.
This high-rise stands at a busy public intersection where people move through and around it daily. It has become a familiar landmark that shapes how locals navigate and experience this part of the city.
The building sits directly on a major transportation interchange with easy access to trams and buses. It can be viewed from outside without restriction since it stands on a public plaza accessible to all.
This was one of the first high-rises built in the destroyed city after the war, demonstrating the optimism of the post-war era. It showed that Nuremberg could rebuild itself and look toward the future despite its difficult past.
