Highlight Towers
The two Highlight Towers are among the tallest buildings in Munich. 126 and 113 meters high, they are once again quite a bit taller than the towers of Munich's Frauenkirche, which are around 98 meters high. The twin towers house offices. They form the end point of an axis that stretches from Odeonsplatz via Ludwigstrasse and Siegestor to Nordschwabing, where, together with THE m.pire building complex, they create a polarizing urban mark that is visible from afar. The two towers of glass and steel were completed in 2004. Their sloping roofs and the three connecting bridges on the 9th, 10th and 20th floors between the filigree structures shooting upwards are striking.
