Senckenberg Turm

Senckenberg Turm is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Senckenberg Turm rather than just read about it. In short: The Senckenberg Turm also known as the T-Rex Hybrid High-rise or the 99 West Frankfurt is a high-rise office building in the Westend-Süd district of Frankfurt, Germany. Built between 2019 and 2022, the tower stands at 106 m (348 ft) with 26 floors and is the current 41st tallest building in Frankfurt.

Key takeaways

Senckenberg Turm belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Senckenberg Turm to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Senckenberg Turm from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Senckenberg Turm also known as the T-Rex Hybrid High-rise or the 99 West Frankfurt is a high-rise office building in the Westend-Süd district of Frankfurt, Germany. Built between 2019 and 2022, the tower stands at 106 m (348 ft) with 26 floors and is the current 41st tallest building in Frankfurt. It is also part of the Kulturcampus Complex alongside the One Forty West tower.

History

Architecture In 2014, the city council passed the development plan no. 569 Senckenberganlage/Bockenheimer Warte. It allows the construction of two high-rise buildings of 100 and 140 meters in height on the site of the former AfE-Turm. Next to the mixed-use One Forty West, the Senckenberg Tower is the smaller of these two properties. The architectural competition for the site was won in March 2016 by the design of the Frankfurt-based firm Cyrus Moser Architekten. The design of the 265 million euro high-rise (total investment volume) is characterized by vertically arranged window bands. In the first quarter of 2017, the Frankfurt-based project developer Groß & Partner acquired part of the site of the future Senckenberg Tower from the municipal housing company ABG Frankfurt Holding. At that time, the project was called 99 West. In April 2018, it was announced that Groß & Partner had sold the project to BNP Paribas Real Estate (BNPPRE), the real estate arm of the French bank BNP Paribas, before construction began. BNPPRE thus appeared on the German market for the first time as a project developer. In autumn 2018, BNP Paribas announced the relocation of its German headquarters, which was already located in Frankfurt, to the lowest 14 floors of the office building and implemented this after completion. A total of 27,000 square metres of rental space are available in the tower. At the end of 2019, it was announced that the investment company NAS Invest had recently acquired 99 West from BNP. In September 2020, the new name Senckenberg Tower was officially announced. The tower is named after the Frankfurt physician and founder Johann Christian Senckenberg.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Senckenberg Turm

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Senckenberg Turm claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Senckenberg Turm before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Senckenberg Turm ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Senckenberg Turm

In research: Senckenberg Turm appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Senckenberg Turm in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Senckenberg Turm is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2022 establishments in Germany, 21st-century architecture in Germany, Buildings and structures completed in 2022, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Senckenberg Turm outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
