Facts
The pyramidal roof is 36.3 meters (119 feet) high.
Highest office tower in Europe from 1991 until May 1997.
Messeturm's ground floor area is just 41 x 41 meters (135 x 135 feet).
There are 900 public parking places underground.
MesseTurm is located directly beside the main entrance of the trade fair area.
The tower is one of Frankfurt's city landmarks and a symbol of the economic boom.
240 workers broke a record in pouring 22,200 cubic yards of concrete from 90 ready-mix trucks using 4 pumps in a three-day operation for the foundation mat.
MesseTurm's design is similar to the Bank of America Plaza in Atlanta.
Constructed by Tishman Speyer Properties and Citibank, and sold in 1991 to Kajima Corporation, Japan.
Houses two restaurants in the basement, which are open to the public.
MesseTurm was the tallest skyscraper in Europe until 1997 when it was surpassed by Commerzbank Tower.
The renowned 21-meter tall "Hammering Man" (1991) by Jonathan Borofsky, is situated in front of the tower.
The translation for MesseTurm is "Trade Fair Tower". MesseTurm is directly located on the Frankfurt trade fair grounds along with the Messe Torhaus.
