The Messeturm Köln is a highrise building which is 80 meters high, in Cologne, Germany. It is crowned by the sculpture Hermes-Gesichter by, professor for sculpture and plastic arts at the Kölner Werkschulen. The tower's top floor featured a tower restaurant.
The tower got its name because it was erected besides the fair halls of Cologne. Faced with brick the finish of the buildings looks similar, but they were not built together. The halls opened with the first fair on May 11, 1924. The building of the tower was started in 1927 and it opened with a fair on May 12, 1928. Tower and halls were built on the banks of river Rhine in the borough Köln-Deutz just opposite Cologne Cathedral.
