List of tallest buildings in Cologne
Appearance
This list of tallest buildings in Cologne ranks high-rise buildings and free standing structures that reach a height of 50 meters (164 feet) without superstructures. When it was completed in 1925, the Hansahochhaus was the tallest skyscraper in Europe for a short time. Currently, the tallest skyscraper in Cologne is the Kölnturm. The tallest structure in Cologne is the Colonius telecommunications tower at 266 m (873 ft), followed by Cologne Cathedral at 157.38 m (516 ft).
The criterion for skyscrapers is usually a height of 150 meters or more. So far, none of Cologne's high-rise buildings have reached this mark; the tallest skyscraper in North Rhine-Westphalia is the 162.5 m (533 ft) tall Post Tower in neighboring Bonn.
