MesseTurm

MesseTurm is a skyscraper located in Frankfurt, Germany. Its name translates as "Fair Tower."

The MesseTurm was the tallest building in Europe until 1997, when it was eclipsed by the Commerzbank Tower. Used as an office building, it is 257 meters (842 feet) tall and has 63 floors.

The construction of the building's foundation set a world record for the longest continuous concrete pour. Ninety trucks poured concrete for 78 hours into the 20-foot deep foundation.
