Henninger Turm
Henninger Turm was a grain elevator and brewery tower located in the Sachsenhausen district of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It was built in 1961 and was a prominent feature of the city's skyline until its demolition in 2013. The tower was named after the Henninger Brewery, which was one of the largest breweries in Frankfurt.
History[edit | edit source]
The Henninger Turm was constructed between 1959 and 1961 and stood at a height of 120 meters. It was designed by the architect Karl Lieser. The tower served as a grain storage facility for the Henninger Brewery and included a revolving restaurant at the top, which offered panoramic views of Frankfurt and the surrounding area.
Architecture[edit | edit source]
The Henninger Turm was notable for its cylindrical shape and the large, rotating restaurant at the top. The design was functional, serving both as a storage facility and a tourist attraction. The tower had a capacity to store up to 16,000 tons of grain.
Demolition and Reconstruction[edit | edit source]
In 2013, the original Henninger Turm was demolished to make way for a new residential tower. The new Henninger Turm, completed in 2017, stands at 140 meters and includes luxury apartments, a restaurant, and a viewing platform.
Cultural Significance[edit | edit source]
The Henninger Turm was an iconic landmark in Frankfurt and was well-known for the annual Henninger Turm Radrennen, a professional cycling race that started and finished at the tower. The race was one of the most important cycling events in Germany.
