Skyscrapers – in the true sense of the word
Two bridges made of glass and steel combine to offer the two planned by architects Murphy/Jahn of Chicago, USA, with towers 126 meters/413 feet (Highlight Tower 1) and 113 meters/371 feet (Highlight Tower 2) height, office space on 33 and 28 storeys, and thus are among the highest buildings in Munich.
To divide the high-rise buildings, two low-rise buildings, which house a hotel and additional office space. Overall, the facility offers over 70,000 square metres of office space.
The smooth glass facades of the buildings appear to be light and transparent and provide a good exposure of the office space. Openable window structures with wind and sound isolation allow employees in the towers an individual ventilation and are part of an environmentally friendly air-conditioning and ventilation system.
The best known tenants of the buildings are the consulting firm Roland Berger in the Tower 1 and the IT companies Fujitsu Technology Solutions and Fish & Richardson in the smaller Tower 2.

Immer wieder bin ich an diesen beiden Hochhausern am Mittleren Ring in Munchen vorbeigefahren und diesmal habe ich mir die Zeit genommen, einen Abstecher zu machen. Und: das ist wirklich lohnenswert!
Die Highlight Towers sind zwei im Jahr 2004 fertiggestellte Buroturme in Munchen. Im gleichen Jahr wurde auch der 146 m hohe Hochhaussolitar Uptown Munchen in Moosach fertiggestellt. Das Ausma? beider Projekte wurde von der Bevolkerung erst wahrend des Baufortschritts wahrgenommen und stie? auf heftige Kritik, die sich politisch in der „Initiative unser Munchen“ des Alt-Burgermeisters Georg Kronawitter artikulierte. Mit einem Burgerbegehren am 21. November 2004 gelang es der Initiative, den Bau von weiteren Gebauden mit uber 100m Hohe in Munchen bis auf weiteres zu verhindern.
Die Hochhauser befinden sich auf dem Highlight Munich Business Towers-Areal an der Ecke Mies-van-der-Rohe- und Walter-Gropius-Stra?e am Munchner Tor zwischen Mittlerem Ring und der Bundesautobahn 9 in Schwabing.
Die beiden von den Architekten Murphy/Jahn (Chicago, USA) geplanten Turme mit 126 Metern (Highlight Tower 1) und 113 Metern (Highlight Tower 2) Hohe verfugen uber Buroflachen auf 33 bzw. 28 Geschossen und gehoren damit zu den hochsten Gebauden in Munchen. Verbunden werden die Hochhauser durch eine Zweier-Bruckengruppe aus Glas und Stahl im neunten und zehnten Obergeschoss sowie eine Einzelbrucke im 20. Obergeschoss. Pro Etage bieten die Turme jeweils eine Geschossflache von rund 1000 Quadratmetern. Die Hochhauser haben die Form zweier schlanker Scheiben jeweils in Form von Parallelogrammen mit Breite von 13,50 Meter und einer Lange von 80 Metern. Sie stehen um 15 Meter gegeneinander verschoben. Der Abstand zwischen den beiden Hochhausern betragt 20 Meter.

It deserved better, for it is a distinguished building. The bricks are good, apparently suggested by Sir Frederick Gibberd as a foil to the concrete of the neighbouring civic buildings. The walls are more glass than brick, so that it is often possible to see right through, as in the transept on the left there. Unfortunately I was not able to gain entry …and besides I had left Mrs B sitting in the car with her book in a residential side street… but there are said to be good things, including a mosaic by John Piper. I noticed that the foundation stone …you can see it at the right corner… was laid by none other than the Rt Hon. R. A. Butler. I suppose the new towns must have been a "flagship"project at the time and some top brass had to be seen to be "on board" …as it would now be expressed.
