Eurotheum, Modern skyscraper in Financial District, Frankfurt, Germany.
The Eurotheum is a glass and steel skyscraper in Frankfurt's Financial District, rising 110 meters (about 360 feet) across 31 floors. The building is mixed-use, with a hotel and bar on the lower levels and residential apartments alongside office spaces in the upper floors.
The Eurotheum was completed in 1999 and initially served as an extension of the European Central Bank's headquarters nearby. In 2015, that connection came to an end and the tower shifted entirely to residential and commercial use.
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 hotel in the lower floors is open to visitors, making it one of the easier ways to see the inside of the building. The tower sits in the heart of the Financial District and is easy to reach on foot from the surrounding streets.
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.
