This list of tallest buildings in Munich ranks high-rise buildings and some important landmarks that reach a height of 50 meters (164 feet). The history of skyscrapers in Munich began with the 12-storey, Old Technical Town Hall. The tallest structure in the city is by far the 291-meter-high Olympic Tower, a television tower built in 1968.
Most high-rise buildings in Munich are spread across the city. However, there are also small clusters, such as Arabellapark, where several high-rise buildings are concentrated. The HVB-Tower, Arabella-Hochhaus, the BayWa-Hochhaus and The Westin Hotel are located here.
Following a referendum in November 2004, Munich's high-rise buildings have since been limited to the Frauenkirche tower height of 99 meters, even outside the city center. However, there are repeated initiatives to reconsider this, also due to price developments on the rental and purchase market for real estate. Munich does not yet have an overarching high-rise master plan, but high-rise studies have been published several times. The Munich City Council advocates the construction of high-rise buildings from the Mittlerer Ring (BundesstraÃÂe 2 R).
