Uni-Center

The Y-shaped residential complex reaches 134 meters in height with three wings painted in orange, green, and yellow for better orientation.

Construction began in 1971, and upon completion in 1973, it became the first major residential development near the University of Cologne.

The 968 apartments combine student housing with private residences, creating a diverse neighborhood for students and permanent residents in Cologne.

The lower floors contain shops, restaurants, and a parking garage, while nine elevators serve approximately 1,200 residents across 45 floors.

The German counter-terrorism unit GSG 9 discovered evidence in 1977 that RAF terrorists used an apartment in the building to plan operations.
