Post Tower

Post Tower is an office building with 41 floors that rises in Bonn's Gronau district and reaches a height of about 162 meters. The structure features a double glass facade, five underground levels, and provides about 55,000 square meters of office space for various companies.

Construction of this headquarters building for Deutsche Post and DHL began in 2000, marking an important moment for Bonn's skyline. Once completed, the building quickly became a recognizable landmark of the city and symbolizes the important role of postal services in Germany.

The structure shapes the city's skyline with its distinctive staggered semi-elliptical form, something local office workers encounter daily. The glass facade reflects light differently throughout the day and in various weather conditions, giving the tower an ever-changing appearance.

The building has 19 elevators that provide easy access to the various office levels and is equipped with modern facilities. The location is well-served by public transportation and offers visitors a good view of contemporary architecture in Bonn.

The building uses an innovative groundwater heating system for climate control and was one of the first high-rises in Germany to employ this technology. This system makes the facility more energy-efficient and demonstrates early commitment to environmentally responsible building systems.
