Hannover's history of skyscrapers began 1928 with the completion of the 12 storey, 51-meter-high (167-foot) Anzeiger-Hochhaus. [1]
Most of the high-rise buildings are concentrated in two smaller clusters. One is located in the center of Hanover, along Hamburger Allee and Raschplatz and near the main train station with Telemoritz, Lister Tor, Sparkasse Hannover, IntercityHotel and Hamburger Allee 25. The other cluster is the Ihme-Zentrum with Stadtwerke-Hochhaus, Ihmepassage 2, Ihmeplatz 1 and other residential high-rise buildings. [2]
