Main Tower

Squares and monuments
Palaces / Castles / Towers / Lighthouses

Frankfurt's tallest observation tower, the MAIN TOWER, was designed by Schweger und Partner, and built between 1996 and 1999 using the top-down construction technique. It is 200 m high and the unmistakable construction of a round and a square tower has succeeded in combining classicism and modernity in a fascinating way. The total number of elevator shafts is 2.5 km long and is traveled by 28 elevators, which, at 7 m/s are among the fastest in Germany. The platform on the 56th floor offers a panoramic view of the city, but is only accessible via a flight of final stairs. The elevator goes up to the 54th floor, from whose rooftop you can also enjoy the spectacular view. Price approx. 7€. <span class="automatic-translation-warning">This text was automatically translated.</span>
