Sparkassen-Hochhaus, Modernist office tower in Dortmund, Germany.
Description
The Sparkassen-Hochhaus is a 17-story office tower in downtown Dortmund that rises to about 62 meters (200 feet) in height. Glass facades and steel elements make up its structure, giving the building its modern appearance.
History
The building was constructed in 1968 as Dortmund transformed from a traditional steel producer into a modern business center. Its construction was part of this shift and the city's desire to reinvent itself on the world stage.
Culture
The building displays the straightforward design language of German postwar modernism, as seen in many office centers from the 1960s. Its clear structure and combination of glass and steel shape the city center's appearance even today.
Practical
The building sits in the city center and is easy to reach by public transport or on foot. The exterior can be viewed from the street, and the interior is accessible for banking services.
Did you know?
A 1999 renovation significantly enlarged the customer hall without altering the original construction. This adaptation shows how buildings from that era can still be adjusted to meet new needs.
