From Lufthansa seat to corporate HQ

For decades the striking tower was known as the "Lufthansa High-Rise". After a thorough renovation it now serves the chemicals company Lanxess as its headquarters. With its location in Deutz, near the trade fair and the arena, it belongs to the right-bank cluster of towers opposite the old town.
