Skyscrapers with heights of 126 and 113 meters

The Highlight Towers stand on an axis with Odeonsplatz, Ludwigstrasse and Siegestor.
The two towers of unequal height, made of glass and steel, were designed by architect Helmut Jahn, completed in 2004 and have the shape of parallelograms.
At 126 and 113 meters, they are among the tallest buildings in Munich. The skyscrapers are connected by a group of two bridges made of glass and steel. They are used as office space.
After the 146m high high-rise solitaire Uptown Munich in Moosach was also completed in the same year, the citizens' referendum "Initiative unser München" (Initiative for our Munich) stipulated after the construction of the two buildings that no further high-rise buildings over 100m could be built in Munich.
