Cologne Tower

Cologne Tower is a modern office skyscraper standing 148.5 meters tall with 43 floors in the Neustadt-Nord district. The building features a glass facade and occupies a prominent position within the MediaPark development.

Construction began in 1999 and was completed in 2001. The building was erected as one of the region's tallest structures.

The glass exterior displays screen-printed images of Cologne Cathedral and the Old Town skyline, creating different visual effects as daylight changes throughout the day. These images connect the modern office building to the city's historic character.

The building has multiple elevators providing access to the office spaces inside. The location within MediaPark is easily reachable from public areas and recognizable from the surrounding streets.

The roof houses a broadcasting antenna that transmits radio signals for multiple stations to different districts. This function makes the building serve as important infrastructure for radio transmission across the city.
