Ringturm

The Ringturm is a 109-meter office building with 26 floors in Neustadt-Nord and forms a distinct point in the northern cityscape. The building contains multiple office levels and connects directly to the city's transportation network through its central location.

The Ringturm was completed in 1973 and represents the period of vertical expansion in German architecture during the early 1970s. The project emerged from growing demand for modern office space during Cologne's reconstruction after World War II.

The tower shapes the business district with its prominent presence and shows how Cologne shifted its economic focus northward after World War II. Visitors notice how the building filled the area with modern office space and defined the neighborhood as a commercial center that remains active today.

The building sits in a central location and is convenient for visitors exploring the business district or accessing public transportation quickly. The immediate surroundings offer good walkways and clear signage, making the area easy to explore on foot.

The tower got its name from the nearby Ring Street and stands as one of the first high-rise buildings that shaped the neighborhood after the war. Visitors approaching from the south immediately spot this vertical structure, which remained the tallest building in this area for many years.
