Brainlab Tower
Brainlab Tower rises in Munich as an architectural marker of change, linking the city’s airport history with medical technology. The tower once formed part of Munich-Riem Airport.
Brainlab uses the tower as its headquarters, placing a medical technology company inside a protected historic structure. The building remains a protected monument in Munich. Brainlab also hosts Tower Talks there, where people from different fields discuss technology, digitalisation, creativity, and the future. These Tower Talks focus on innovation and technology.
The tower therefore brings together a former airport site, a working company headquarters, and conversations about emerging ideas. Messestadt Riem surrounds it with housing, shopping, and recreational areas. The surrounding district shows how aircraft grounds became an urban area with homes, shops, and places for recreation. The tower gives Munich a meeting point between history and innovation. Its setting records Munich’s shift from aviation infrastructure toward an urban district shaped by housing, commerce, and leisure.
