List of tallest buildings in Hamburg

Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

HafenCity: The Elbphilharmonie (also English: Elbe Philharmonic Hall), one of the largest and most acoustically advanced concert halls in the world

This list of tallest buildings in Hamburg ranks high-rise buildings and some important landmarks that reach a height of 50 meters (164 feet). The tallest freestanding structure in the city is the 279-meter-high Heinrich-Hertz-Turm, a television tower built in 1968.

Hamburg's city centre is dominated by church towers; Hamburg is the city with the most churches taller than 100 meters. High-rise buildings, on the other hand, are found in smaller clusters in the HafenCity, at Berliner Tor in St. Georg, in the Hafenkrone in St. Pauli and in Mundsburg in Hamburg-Nord.

The criterion for skyscrapers is usually a height of 150 meters or more. So far, no Hamburg building has reached this mark, but Hamburg has made a first attempt in this direction with the Elbtower. Unfortunately, construction was halted at the end of October 2023 as the developer failed to make payments to the construction company.[1][2]
