"Commerzbank Tower - My favourite building!" Frankfurt am Main Travelogue by codrutz


Frankfurt am Main Travel Guide: 2,073 reviews and 3,532 photos

View from Maine Tower

The Commerzbank tower in Frankfurt is the first so called "ecological skyscraper" in the world because of the new technology for heating and cooling.
At night the building is illuminated in a changing yellow light scheme by artist Thomas Emde.
Only the plaza level of Commerzbank's tower is accessible to the public. There is no observatory or open area on top.
It is still the talles office building in Europe, despite the fact that from December 2003, the Triumph-Palace in Moscow grew 5 meters higher - but that's an ugly building indeed :)

The Atrium

One of the impressive feature of this special building is THE ATRIUM..it's inner core..triunghiular shaped tunnel..made of steel and glass...you can see from the base in the Foyer (reception) all up to the sky..nice isn't it?

The Carpet

The 20 meters long high tech carpet in the foyer of Commerzbank. Carefully designed and produced, its colours change depending of the position of the viewer. The Foyer is impressive, 30 meters high.

The Gardens

Gardens inside Commerzbank building. There are nine big gardens inside, three on each side, several stories high, superb places for relaxation.

Garden at 25th floor, viewed from an office at 26th floor

The garden at 35th floor..Best place to have a cofee in Frankfurt :))) You can watch the planes coming for landing from here

The Elevators

There are six elevators with outside view..They sure are FASSSST :)

    You've added even more fine tips since I last looked at this page! Great that you were able to get inside the Commerzbank Tower, which is only open to lucky people like you who have business there.

    I can see why you like the Commerzbank so much, it's got a lot of great features! Very nice page - I saw those distinctive trees when I was in Germany, too, they're very strange looking!

    If there was a battle between the bull and the bear it looks like the bull would win in your pictures, LOL. Cheers!

    I must return to see the new skyscrapers. I lived there 2.5 yrs. to 7/61 long before you were a gleam in your father's eye.
