Messeturm

The Messeturm, or Trade Fair Tower, is a 63-storey, 257 m (843 ft) skyscraper in the <a href="/facts/Westend_(Frankfurt_am_Main)/2SaCEpL9">Westend-Süd district</a> of <a href="/facts/Frankfurt/Pw4Xj9A4">Frankfurt</a>, Germany. It is <a href="/facts/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Frankfurt/7nB9rqzE">the second tallest building in Frankfurt</a>, <a href="/facts/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Germany/XKm8cIxF">the second tallest building in Germany</a> and the third tallest building in the European Union. It was <a href="/facts/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Europe/u6xwMnTX">the tallest building in Europe</a> from its completion in 1990 until 1997 when it was surpassed by the <a href="/facts/Commerzbank_Tower/J8JA3eCw">Commerzbank Tower</a>, which is also located in Frankfurt.
The Messeturm is located near the <a href="/facts/Messe_Frankfurt/bes1ylKf">Frankfurt Trade Fair</a> grounds. <a href="/facts/Helmut_Jahn/gv57kgAx">Helmut Jahn</a> designed the Messeturm in a <a href="/facts/Postmodern_architecture/U1ouBsd5">postmodern architectural</a> style. It is regarded as one of the design classics among European skyscrapers. Despite its name, the Messeturm is not used for trade fair exhibitions but as an office building. It is one of the few buildings in Germany with their own <a href="/facts/Postal_code/5Kckdr9M">postal code</a> (60308), the others being <a href="/facts/Opernturm/qjwJlDmY">Opernturm</a>, another Frankfurt skyscraper, and the summit station on <a href="/facts/Zugspitze/myfqVjQp">Zugspitze</a>.
When Germany submitted its application to have Frankfurt selected as the seat of the European Union's Anti-money-laundering authority (AMLA) in 2023, the Messeturm was one of three options – alongside <a href="/facts/Tower_185/QJHjC5hy">Tower 185</a> – presented as potential location for the new agency.
