RWE Tower, Modern office building in central Dortmund, Germany.
The RWE Tower is a modern high-rise with 21 floors and 91 meters of height, clad in black granite with adjustable windows across its entire façade. The structure houses retail spaces, restaurants, and an underground parking garage.
Its construction between 2003 and 2005 was part of a major redevelopment project for Dortmund, linking the central station to the downtown area. The building marked the city's urban transformation during this period.
The tower has created a public gathering space where employees and visitors meet in cafés beneath the glazed roof. This spot shapes downtown Dortmund through its modern design and serves as a focal point for the business district.
The building is easy to locate at Freistuhl 7 in the city center and serves as a helpful landmark for navigation. Many ground-level areas are open to the public, including shops and dining venues.
The tower has a lens-shaped foundation that gives it an unusual form, setting it apart from typical rectangular high-rises. Its roof with a 17-meter-high glazed section creates a striking interior space that many visitors overlook.
