Messeturm, Commercial skyscraper in Westend-Süd district, Frankfurt, Germany
The MesseTurm features a square base that transforms into a cylindrical tower, culminating in a pyramid-shaped crown at 256.5 meters high.
Upon completion in 1990, the MesseTurm held the title of tallest building in Europe until 1997, when the Commerzbank Tower surpassed its height.
The building's pencil-like silhouette, designed by architect Helmut Jahn, represents the economic strength of Frankfurt's financial district.
The structure contains 24 elevators serving its 63 floors, accommodating up to 4,000 people across 61,711 square meters of office space.
The foundation construction set a record with a 78-hour continuous concrete pour, requiring 90 trucks to achieve a depth of 6 meters.
