City-Hochhaus is 36-story skyscraper in Leipzig, Germany. At 142 m (466 ft), it is the tallest multistory building in Leipzig. The tower was designed by architect Hermann Henselmann in the shape of an open book, and built between 1968 and 1972. It followed Henselmann's idea to cap central places in cities with a prominent tower, such as the Jen-Tower in Jena and Fernsehturm in Berlin. The building is nicknamed Weisheitszahn (English: wisdom tooth) by locals due to its form, or after its previous function, the Uniriese (English: university giant). * * City-Hochhaus from above. * At night. * *
