Dancing Towers, Skyscraper complex at Reeperbahn, St. Pauli district, Germany
The Dancing Towers is a complex of two glass towers at different heights that stand at angles to create a bent silhouette along the Reeperbahn. The structure contains office spaces and various tenants within the St. Pauli district.
The complex was designed following an architectural competition won by BRT under Hadi Teherani in 2003, with completion in 2012. The project represented a major investment that reshaped this section of Hamburg's skyline.
The Mojo Club reopened in the complex ten years after it had to close, occupying 1,600 m² on part of the ground floor and two basement levels, with room for 800 visitors. Radio Reeperbahn also broadcasts from the ground floor, having started on 10 November 2012. The architect described the towers as a tango-dancing couple, an image tied to the Reeperbahn.
The towers stand at Reeperbahn 1, on the triangle formed by Reeperbahn, Zirkusweg and Beim Trichter, right by St. Pauli U-Bahn station and Spielbudenplatz. The Mojo Club occupies part of the ground floor and two basement levels, with room for 800 visitors. The separate eight-storey Arcotel Onyx hotel on the same plot has 215 rooms.
The two towers feature a special architectural twist through their angled positioning, which inspired their "Dancing" name. This characteristic rotation of the building forms creates a dynamic visual element that stands out along the entire street.
