Westendstrasse 1
Westendstrasse 1 has hints of fine, golden granite which gives it a white and bright appearance from afar. The unique ring beam at the top of the tower (known commonly as the crown) is a reminder to Frankfurt's history as the city where German emperors were crowned. The crown faces towards the old part of Frankfurt where the coronations were held at the Frankfurt Cathedral. The 95 tonne steel crown is heated in winter to prevent the forming of icicles which could endanger pedestrians or cars on the street below.
