_The Messeturm_ is a skyscraper in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Its name translates as "Fair Tower" ("fair" in the sense of "trade fair") in German. It is the second tallest building in Frankfurt and Germany and the also the second tallest in the European Union. The Messeturm's ground floor area is just 1,681 m2 (18,090 sq ft). The Messeturm is directly located in the Frankfurt Trade Fair grounds. Helmut Jahn designed the Messeturm in the Postmodern architectural style. Used as an office building, the Messeturm is 257 metres (843 ft) tall and has 63 floors. It was the tallest building in Europe from its completion in 1991 until 1997 when it was overtaken by the Commerzbank Tower, also located in Frankfurt, and only two meters taller. The construction of the building's foundation set a world record for the longest continuous concrete pour. Ninety trucks poured concrete for 78 hours into the 6-metre (20 ft) deep foundation. The 36.3 metres (119.1 ft) high pyramid on the very top of the Messeturm is what makes it most remarkable among other usual skyscrapers.wikipedia. __Frankfurt Messe__ important fairs include: the Frankfurt Book Fair and the Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung, the world's largest book and auto shows, respectively. the Light+Building the tendence - lifestyle the Ambiente the Heimtextil the Paperworld the Musikmesse the EuroMold the ISH the Automechanika, leading international trade fair for the automotive industry the Texcare International the Texprocess the Material Vision the ACHEMA - International exhibition-congress on chemical engineering, environmental protection and biotechnology.wikipedia. _Frankfurt Trade Fair (German Messe Frankfurt)_ with 448,000,000 Euros in sales and over 1,600 active employees, is one of the world's largest trade fair companies.
