RWE-Turm

At 127 meters, the Evonik Tower, known as the RWE Tower until 2026, is the tallest building in the Ruhr region and has housed the headquarters of Evonik Industries since July 2026. Designed by Christoph Ingenhoven in 1996, the high-rise stands out for its ecological design, which allows natural ventilation between the double-glazed facade and makes use of daylight and solar heat. The architecture forms a striking contrast with the artworks installed in the surrounding park, including the stone sculpture Neandertal Line by Richard Long and the stainless steel sculpture Springende Linie by Norbert Thomas. Inside, artists such as Lothar Baumgarten and François Morellet add accents with quirky word creations and varying sculptures on every floor. After a brief evacuation due to fire safety deficiencies in the summer of 2026, the building is fully usable again and offers 56,000 square meters of office space for numerous companies, including the law firm Luther.
