List of tallest buildings in Hamburg
This list of tallest buildings in Hamburg ranks high-rise buildings and some important landmarks that reach a height of 50 meters (164 feet). The tallest freestanding structure in the city is the 279-meter-high Heinrich-Hertz-Turm, a television tower built in 1968.
Hamburg's city centre is dominated by church towers; Hamburg is the city with the most churches taller than 100 meters. High-rise buildings, on the other hand, are found in smaller clusters in the HafenCity, at Berliner Tor in St. Georg , in the Hafenkrone in St. Pauli and in Mundsburg in Hamburg-Nord.
The criterion for skyscrapers is usually a height of 150 meters or more. So far, no Hamburg building has reached this mark, but Hamburg has made a first attempt in this direction with the Elbtower. Unfortunately, construction was halted at the end of October 2023 as the developer failed to make payments to the construction company.[1][2]
