Treptowers, Office skyscraper in Alt-Treptow, Germany.
Treptowers is a four-building office complex on the Spree in Alt-Treptow, completed in 1998. Its main tower is a square-plan high-rise with a steel-and-glass facade, its lower third edged in natural stone. The complex incorporates listed buildings of the former AEG electrical appliance works.
The complex was built in 1998 on the site of a former AEG electrical appliance factory that operated from 1926 to 1995. The area was transformed from industrial manufacturing to a modern office location along the river following its completion.
The building sits next to the Molecule Men sculpture in the river and shapes the character of this stretch of the waterfront. Its modern profile creates a striking contrast with the older industrial landmarks nearby.
The building is easily visible from outside and can be viewed from the Spree riverbank, especially from the nearby promenade. The location is accessible by public transport and sits among other attractions along the river.
The rooftop carried illuminated "Allianz" letters about 15 metres tall at first occupancy; they were cut to eight metres because of the light emitted toward air traffic, and were removed at the end of 2021. Since 2017 a transmitter on the roof has broadcast on 106.4 MHz for temporary event radio.
