Glanzstoff-Hochhaus, High-rise building in Elberfeld district, Wuppertal, Germany.

The Glanzstoff-Hochhaus reaches 47 meters in height and features a distinct glass and steel facade that allows natural light to enter the office spaces.

Built between 1954 and 1958, architect Hanns Dustmann designed this administrative building for the Vereinigte Glanzstoff-Fabriken AG, a chemical fiber manufacturer.

The building represents the architectural transformation of post-war Germany, reflecting the shift from traditional industrial structures to modern office buildings.

Located at Kasinostraße in central Wuppertal, the building remains the second tallest structure in the city after the Stadtsparkassen Tower.

The former company cafeteria section of the building now operates as a public café-bar, connecting the administrative heritage with contemporary social spaces.
