Hubert Burda Media Tower, Administrative high-rise in Offenburg, Germany.
The Hubert Burda Media Tower is a 67-metre administrative high-rise in Offenburg, the city's tallest building. Its renovation by Christoph Ingenhoven added two outward-projecting double-skin glass facades that create extra interior space and allow natural ventilation; the side facades are clad in metal panels, and the 2,700-square-metre outer facade consists of anodized sheet metal.
The tower was built in 1964 and was originally shorter than today. Between 2002 and 2004, the building underwent major renovation work that increased its height and modernized its structure.
This building serves as the headquarters of a major German media company and has shaped Offenburg's skyline for decades. When walking through the city, the modern high-rise immediately catches your eye and shows how important this location is for the media industry.
The tower stands at Hauptstraße 130 in Offenburg, its heated steel facade and anodized metal cladding visible from the street. The glazed conference level with the slightly curved roof sits at the top, replacing the former company logo above the old roof edge.
Two webcams are mounted on the top of the tower and continuously stream views toward north and south. These live feeds show the city and surrounding landscape and are available online for anyone to watch.
