Lanxess Tower, Office tower in Deutz, Germany

Lanxess Tower is a 22-storey office high-rise in Deutz, Cologne, originally 95 metres tall with gold-tinted windows. It consists of two building sections, the tower and the adjoining Rheinetagen, and was completely rebuilt by Hochtief Projektentwicklung until mid-2013. The complex was called maxCologne during construction, and the tower was renamed Lanxess Tower at the request of Lanxess AG.

The tower was built as the Lufthansa headquarters and inaugurated on 15 April 1970, originally 95 metres tall with gold-tinted windows. Lufthansa moved out in September 2007. Warburg-Henderson acquired the building in December 2009 for a fund whose sole investor was the Rheinische Versorgungskassen, and Hochtief Projektentwicklung rebuilt it completely by mid-2013. Lanxess moved its group headquarters from Leverkusen into the 22-storey tower in summer 2013.

The square between the tower and the Rhine-Etagen is named Kennedyplatz after John F. Kennedy, the 35th US president. The office ensemble, including the tower and the riverside floors, is still called maxCologne by its landlords and building operator.

The complex consists of the tower and the Rhine floors (Rheinetagen) facing the river, with the Kennedyplatz square between them. The Rhine floors are fully let to the law firm Görg. The office space totals around 45,000 m², and the building holds the DGNB Gold sustainability certificate.

The office ensemble, comprising the tower and the riverside Rheinetagen floors, was already called maxCologne during construction; landlords and the building operator still use that name today, even though the tower itself became Lanxess Tower at the tenant's request.
