Main Tower, Postmodern skyscraper in Innenstadt, Germany
The Main Tower is a postmodern skyscraper in Frankfurt's city center featuring a distinctive glass facade and two connected sections: a cuboid tower and a circular tower. The building spans 56 floors with five underground levels and includes a public observation deck.
Construction of the tower began in 1996 and was completed in 1999, with the opening taking place in 2000. This marked an important moment in Frankfurt's skyline development.
The foyer displays two notable artworks: a video installation by Bill Viola and a wall mosaic by Stephan Huber depicting Frankfurt's history. These works tell the story of the city and its evolution through artistic perspectives.
The elevator system with 27 lifts allows visitors to reach the upper areas quickly. The public observation deck can be accessed during daytime hours and provides views across the entire city.
Weather reporters from local radio regularly broadcast live from the top of the building, using its height to present weather conditions across Frankfurt. This makes the location a distinctive broadcasting point for local forecasts.
