Dreischeibenhaus
Dreischeibenhaus rises ninety-five metres beside Düsseldorf’s Hofgarten district. Its post-war modernist International style sets three slender plates against the nearby Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus. The contrast brings two distinct architectural languages into one central city setting.
Completed after the Second World War, the office tower became one of Germany’s first post-war skyscrapers. Thyssen and ThyssenKrupp used the building as their headquarters during Germany’s economic recovery. In the early 1990s, a new curtain wall preserved the original appearance while improving thermal performance and moisture control. Düsseldorf’s HPP Architects led a comprehensive renovation in 2013, expanding the gross floor area to 35,000 square metres. The work modernised the interior while retaining the distinctive exterior.
Flexible workspaces and modern amenities now fill the office building. Its position connects Düsseldorf’s business district with nearby cultural attractions and the Hofgarten. From the surrounding streets, the three-part façade remains the clearest detail: a tall geometric counterpoint to the sculptural Schauspielhaus.
