RWE Tower, Office skyscraper in Südviertel, Essen, Germany.
The RWE Tower rises 127 meters into the sky with a rectangular shape and large glass windows providing views across the Ruhr metropolitan region.
Completed in December 1996, the RWE Tower emerged during a period of architectural modernization in the Ruhr area, marking a new chapter in regional development.
The building represents the transformation of Essen from an industrial center to a modern business hub through its contemporary architectural design by Ingenhoven Architects.
The 29-floor structure functions as the headquarters of RWE energy company, providing workspace for hundreds of employees in the heart of Essen.
The tower underwent extensive wind tunnel testing during its development phase to ensure optimal structural performance and safety at its full height.
