The Silberturm (also called Silver Tower or Silberling) in the railway station district of Frankfurt am Main is one of the best-known skyscrapers in the Main metropolis. From 1978 to 1990, the 166-metre-high tower was the tallest skyscraper in Germany until it was surpassed by the Frankfurt Messeturm. Until 2008, the Silver Tower served as the corporate headquarters of Dresdner Bank and is therefore often referred to as the Dresdner Bank Tower or, after its location, the Jürgen Ponto Tower. After a comprehensive refurbishment, Deutsche Bahn has been using the building as a tenant with the group's own IT service provider DB Sys-tel GmbH since 23 April 2012. In 2020, it was sold to the Viennese company Imfarr together with the Swiss SN Beteiligungen Holding AG.
