Weser Tower, High-rise building in Walle, Bremen, Germany.
Weser Tower is a modern office building in Walle with a glass facade that reflects light across its 22 floors, rising 82 meters high. The structure houses multiple companies and features restaurants on the ground level to serve visitors and office staff.
Construction began in October 2007 under architect Helmut Jahn's direction and finished in 2010. The project marked a turning point in the redevelopment of the harbor quarter and Bremen's modern urban growth.
The tower stands where dock workers once labored, now representing the quarter's shift toward modern commerce and business activity. Its presence alongside the river reflects Bremen's evolution from a port-driven economy to a service-based one.
The building is accessible with ground-floor restaurants open to visitors without prior appointment. Its riverside location makes it easy to find and reach by public transport from central Bremen.
The building sparked debate among architects for its sleek modern design in a traditionally working-class harbor neighborhood. Its smooth glass exterior deliberately contrasts with the older warehouse structures nearby, reshaping the district's visual character.
