The Deutsche Bank Twin Towers are prominently located at the borders of the city districts of Westend-Süd, the Bahnhofsviertel and the Innenstadt, near a series of baroque-era-fortifications-gone-parks (Wallanlagen) and the Opernplatz.

The twin towers are part of a chain of high-rise buildings at Mainzer Landstraße which stretches from the Opernplatz in the east to the Platz der Republik in the west.

In contrast to the neighboring high-rise Trianon, built a few years later, the pedestal of the Deutsche Bank skyscraper adapts to the urban environment.

The towers are irregular trapezoidal shapes, but both feature identical floors plans that have symmetric 45-degree angles arranged 13 m (43 ft) from the center of the plant around.

[citation needed] In 2006, Deutsche Bank decided that the towers would undergo a major renovation after 22 years due to changes in fire regulations.

After a three-year renovation period, the 155 m (509 ft) Deutsche Bank towers were officially re-opened on 14 February 2011 in a ceremony attended by guests from politics, business and society.

Petra Roth, Mayor of the City of Frankfurt am Main, emphasized in her welcoming remarks the importance of green and sustainable buildings in urban development.

This is a goal that we have been working towards for many years, and one that we have further highlighted by applying for the 2014 European Green Capital Award.” In 2007, Deutsche Bank purchased the complex for approximately €271 million from a closed-end fund which owned it since 1984.
