Henninger Turm, Grain silo in Sachsenhausen district, Frankfurt, Germany.
The reinforced concrete structure rises 120 meters into the Frankfurt skyline, containing 33 floors and storage space for 16,000 tons of barley.
Built between 1959 and 1961 under architect Karl Lieser's direction, the Henninger Turm remained the highest building in Frankfurt until 1974.
The structure initiated the annual cycling race 'Rund um den Henninger-Turm' in 1961, which continued as a Frankfurt sports tradition until 2008.
The former industrial building underwent demolition in 2013, leading to construction of a new 140-meter residential tower with 209 apartments.
The original design incorporated two rotating restaurants at the top of the grain silo, making it the only industrial structure of its kind with this feature.
