Rising 61 meters in Stuttgart-Mitte, the Tagblatt-Turm is a 16-storey modernist skyscraper designed by Ernst Otto Oßwald and constructed between 1924 and 1928 from reinforced concrete, crushed stone, and cement. One of Germany's earliest high-rises, it was upon completion the tallest building in Stuttgart after the 1905 city hall and the highest office building in the country. Originally home to the editorship and publishing house of the Stuttgarter Neues Tagblatt from 1928 to 1943, the tower later served as headquarters for two major Stuttgart newspapers until 1978. Its bold modern aesthetic sparked controversy during construction, yet the building has since earned recognition as a cultural and architectural landmark. Now designated a Kulturdenkmal, it was converted in 2004 into a cultural center, Kultur unterm Turm, featuring multiple theatres.
