Westendstraße 1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Westendstraße 1, at 208 metres (53 floors), is the third tallest building in Frankfurt, Germany. The Kronenhochhaus (German: "skyscraper of crowns"), as it is commonly called, is the seat of the DZ Bank. It was completed in 1993. The crown weighs 95 metric tons, and is heated in winter to avoid icing. It was awarded "Best Building of the Year" for 1995 by the American Chamber of Architects in the multifunctional skyscraper category.
Claes Oldenburg's and Coosje van Bruggen's sculpture Inverted Collar and Tie is an eye-catcher in front of the building's entrance.
This building appears in the Euro Contemporary tileset of SimCity 4 (On the Rush Hour or Deluxe Edition).
