Frankfurt has some skyscrapers and more and more.

What is modern may decide architects, but where and how people want to live, they decide.
In Germany, high-rise buildings have no good reputation. I barely know people who would move into a house. They are often regarded as social focal points and not particularly attractive.
Cloud scratches are expensive in construction and maintenance and especially fire protection is a cost factor.
This is not much different in other European countries. Also in France, Italy or Spain there are hardly any skyscrapers for living.
Only in Frankfurt the situation is a little different, as I said, here is the highest residential tower.
48 floors.

And the new Omniturm is also ready. (mixed housing and offices)
There are also several high-rise buildings in many major cities, but not as extensive as in other parts of the world. Here too, the costs are the biggest factor.
Because we have distance calculations. From a certain height high-rise buildings and skyscrapers become extremely complex and expensive. From this point of view, we have fire protection regulations that are quite strict.
It probably has several reasons.
As one began to build skyscrapers (in the USA), European cities were already standing with many historic buildings.
In addition, there was war in Europe again and again until 1945 (in some countries still / again). Skyscrapers no longer stood and after the end of the Second World War money and resources were needed for more important things.
In addition, (in Germany) no property prices cover the disproportionate costs of a skyscraper.
In other words, it is cheaper to buy more land and build several smaller buildings.
Probably there are more reasons.
There are quite European cities with skyscrapers, so it is not. Cloud scrapers are then a way out when the settlement pressure is enormous and/or property prices are correspondingly high.
Finally, I build so high that costs for the required floor area plus construction costs become as small as possible.
European cities with skyscrapers:
Rotterdam, Madrid, Warsaw, Courbevoie, Frankfurt am Main, London, Moscow, Istanbul.
How do you get this thesis?
Skyscrapers, these are houses that crack the 150 meter fire.
in Hamburg, for example, there is not even something like this. but, for example, in Cologne the cathedral, it is only 7 meters, but with it it is clear skyscraper and also the Ture de Eifel in Parie from which you could make smooth 2 skyscrapers. would be divided in the middle.
I would say from the abdomen that there are over 200 buildings in Europe that can call themselves skyscrapers.
There are even two in Chemnitz.
A colorful chimney. (Highest building in Saxony)
A high class hotel in the city.
Because they have reasonable rules against wildlife. I also know extremely high buildings in Paris and London and Frankfurt and Moscow. So what?
In the city center, it's the nostalgia of the famous cities.
The Americans invented the skyscrapers, in Asia they continue to do so.
Frankfurt, London, Paris, Moscow, Warsaw have skyscrapers
Well, look at the city skylines.
Frankfurt is pretty much the only city in Germany with a real skyline.
"No" the FS most likely uses as a hyperbolic agent to express "very little".
probably
