List of tallest buildings in Cologne

This list of tallest buildings in Cologne ranks high-rises and free standing structures that reach a height of 50 meters (164 feet) without superstructures. When it was completed in 1925, the Hansahochhaus was the tallest skyscraper in Europe for a short time. Currently, the tallest skyscraper in Cologne is the Kölnturm. The tallest structure in Cologne is the Colonius telecommunications tower at 266 m (873 ft), followed by Cologne Cathedral at 157.38 m (516 ft).
