Eurotheum, Modern skyscraper in Financial District, Frankfurt, Germany.
The Eurotheum is a 110-metre, 31-storey tower in central Frankfurt, built alongside the neighbouring Main Tower and completed in 1999. Its main facade is divided into vertical bays by pale structural columns, with beige spandrel bands separating rows of blue-grey glass windows; the top is flat. Offices occupy floors up to the 21st, the Innside hotel and the 22nd Lounge & Bar begin on the 22nd, and 74 furnished apartments fill floors 23 to 29.
The Eurotheum was completed in 1999, the same year as the adjacent Main Tower, and was designed by the Offenbach firm Novotny Mähner Assoziierte. The European Central Bank used its offices as an extension of the Eurotower until the end of 2014, when the ECB moved to its new headquarters. In December 2018, Commerzbank sold the building to German Estate Group (GEG) for €250 million.
The Eurotheum stands in Frankfurt's Bankenviertel, a district known for its dense cluster of towers that give the city its recognizable skyline. Walking through the surrounding streets, visitors can feel the contrast between the glass towers and the older buildings nearby.
The public bar is on the 22nd floor, above the offices and below the 74 hotel apartments on floors 23 to 29. The tower stands beside the Main Tower in the city centre, a short walk from Willy-Brandt-Platz.
The building uses warm water produced by its server rooms and redirects it into the main heating circuit rather than releasing it as waste. This means the heat generated by computer equipment ends up warming the apartments and offices inside.
