Old Technical Town Hall, High-rise administrative building in Münchner Altstadt, Germany.

The Old Technical Town Hall extends 45.5 meters into the Munich skyline with twelve floors of concrete and glass construction.

The municipal administration building, completed in 1929, emerged from a 1919 competition won by architect Hermann Leitenstorfer to address growing space needs.

The structure represents the Neues Bauen architectural movement, marking a transition toward modern construction methods in Munich's building tradition.

The building houses Munich's planning and building regulations departments, featuring a restored paternoster elevator following public demands for its preservation.

Located at the junction of Blumenstraße and An der Hauptfeuerwache, this structure stands as Munich's first high-rise, known locally as 'Das Hochhaus'.
