This list of tallest buildings in Bonn ranks high-rise buildings and important landmarks that reach a height of 50 meters (164 feet).

Current

Bonn's skyline is dominated by the 162.5-metre-high Post Tower, which is the sixteenth tallest building in Germany and the only skyscraper outside Frankfurt am Main to date.

The first high-rise building in Bonn to exceed the 100-meter mark was the former "Abgeordnetenhochhaus" (today UN-Hochhaus) popularly known as Langer Eugen, which was completed in 1969.

Several new buildings have been constructed in recent years, such as the "Marriott Hotel of the World Conference Center", the expansion of the UN Campus and, in 2022, the “Neuer Kanzlerplatz”, which replaces the former Bonn Center.

Furthermore, a large number of new high-rise buildings are to be built along the B9 around the Bundesviertel, which are currently being planned in a high-rise master plan.[1]
