The Henninger-Turm ("Henninger tower") is a grain storage silo located in the Frankfurt district of Sachsenhausen. It was built by the Henninger Brewery (now part of the Binding Brewery/Radeberger Group) and has a storage capacity of 16,000 tons of barley. The 120 metres (394 ft), 33-story high tower was designed by Karl Lieser and was built from 1959 to 1961. It was inaugurated on May 18, 1961. Cylinders are made from reinforced concrete.
