Skyscrapers in Frankfurt am Main 1/3

in #photography6 years ago

Hello and welcome to my new steemit post,
today I'm starting my three parted series of pictures of Skyscrapers in Frankfurt am Main. I'm going to release them one by one on different days.

Messeturm (Exhibition Tower)

The Messeturm was only a few hundred meters away from my hotel directly by the exhibition center in Frankfurt. My family and I decided too take a look inside it, but we sadly got kicked out, because you are not allowed to enter it.

After a bit of research, I found out, that its construction was finished in 1990. Its height is 256,5 meters (about 840 foot) and with that it is the eighth highest building in Europe.

Pollux
A captured a picture of the Pollux together with the Tower 185, but actually its closer to the "Kastor", with which it forms the "Forum Frankfurt" complex. The Pollux was constructed between 1994–1997.

Tower185
The "Tower185" is 200 meters (about 656 foot) tall. Its name originates form the original plans to build the tower 185 meters tall. Its next to the Skyline plaza ( as mentioned in my previous post The only Chipotle in Germany).

That's it for today's post, have a nice evening.
