Herkules-Hochhaus, High-rise building in Ehrenfeld, Germany
The Herkules-Hochhaus reaches 102 meters into the sky with its exterior cladding of blue, orange, and purple enameled metal sheets.
The 31-floor residential tower, completed in 1972, emerged from Cologne's urban planning initiative to create vertical living spaces during the 1960s.
The building received the 'Sour Lemon' award from the Cologne Tourism Association in 2005 for its architectural appearance in the urban landscape.
The building contains 427 residential units, ranging from 24 to 43 square meters, with four elevators serving different floor groups.
The 31st floor features a swimming pool and sauna facility for residents, offering views across the city of Cologne.
