Siemens-Hochhaus stands in Munich’s Obersendling district as a notable work of office architecture. Hans Maurer designed the tower for Siemens in Munich. At completion, the building was Munich’s tallest office tower, giving the company a prominent urban address. The tower remains under heritage protection in Munich.

Siemens originally used the building as a major office, making it a symbol of the company’s presence in the city. Its history follows Siemens’s changing role, from an important workplace to a property with new ownership. Public opposition halted earlier plans for additional high-rise buildings around the site. The building’s purpose and ownership later changed as redevelopment proposals evolved.

An apartment conversion formed part of the South One project, but those plans were shelved. Later planning focused on retaining office use while respecting the tower’s protected architectural status. The Siemens-Hochhaus therefore connects Munich’s industrial history with questions about preserving significant office buildings. Its presence records how Siemens shaped Obersendling through architecture, employment and urban development.
