The Cologne Tower, or KölnTurm, is a 44-story office skyscraper at Im MediaPark 8 in the Neustadt-Nord district of Cologne, Germany. Kohl & Kohl and Jean Nouvel designed it in a Modernist style. Grontmij BGS was the engineer, and Hochtief was the main contractor. Construction ran from June 1999 to November 2001.
The reinforced concrete tower is 148.5 meters tall to its roof and 165.48 meters with its antenna. It has a load-bearing central core and a glass façade with screen-printed images of Cologne Cathedral and the skyline of the Old Town.
An observation deck and restaurant on the 30th floor opened to the public in June 2006. The building houses several media companies because of its MediaPark location.
