Hans Skyscraper

Hans Skyscraper is one of the first skyscrapers in Germany. This is an expressionism style office building.

Hans Skyscraper

Very close to the Media Park is another Cologne skyscraper. In the 20s, Hansa was considered the highest skyscraper in Europe. Its height is 65 m, but by today's standards it looks more than modest.

On several floors there is a huge Saturn music store, where you can find a CD for every taste. But be careful: it’s worth starting to study the latest albums and listen to recordings through headphones, and it will be very difficult to stop!

How to get there

U-Bahn: Hansaring.
