Weißer Riese, High-rise building in Mettenhof, Germany.

The Weisser Riese is a residential tower standing 85 meters tall with 25 floors and a square footprint of about 25 meters on each side in central Mettenhof. Beyond living spaces, the building houses shared facilities including laundry areas, drying rooms, storage zones, and technical floors for elevator systems.

The tower was built between 1968 and 1971 to plans by the Hamburg architect Hans Konwiaz, as part of the development of Mettenhof around the Kurt-Schumacher-Platz. At 85 metres it became Kiel's tallest residential building and the landmark of the new district. Since 2014 it has belonged to the housing company Grand City Properties.

The tower stands at Kurt-Schumacher-Platz in the centre of Mettenhof, the district it is taken as the emblem of. Its 25 storeys are divided by use: 22 are lived in, two hold drying rooms, a laundry and storage space, and one serves as a workshop for the lifts.
