This list ranks buildings in Germany that stand at least 100 metres (328 ft) tall. Only habitable buildings are ranked, which excludesradio masts and towers,observation towers,steeples,chimneys and other tall architectural structures.
The construction ofhigh-rise buildings is not common in German cities, and especially not in the city centres, where traditionally steeples are the tallest structures. Due to its economic profile as an internationalfinancial centre, onlyFrankfurt has developed a skyline of high-rise buildings andskyscrapers in its city centre. Out of a total of 22 skyscrapers in Germany, meaning buildings at least 150 metres (492 ft) tall, 20 are located in Frankfurt.
The development of high-rises in Germany began in 1915, with the Zeiss Bau 15 inJena. Notable examples of early high-rise buildings include theWilhelm Marx House inDüsseldorf, theBorsigturm andUllsteinhaus inBerlin, theHansahochhaus inCologne, theAnzeiger-Hochhaus inHanover, theTagblatt-Turm inStuttgart, and theKroch High-rise andEuropahaus inLeipzig.
