The Deutsche Bank Twin Towers-Building (german: "Deutsche Bank Zwillingstürme" or "Deutsche Bank-Hochhaus") is the headquarter of the Deutsche Bank concern in Frankfurt, Germany.
Because of its high media coverage it is one of the best known buildings in Germany. It is located at the banking district of Frankfurt. Originally the towers were planned for a hotel of the American Hyatt hotels. Deutsche Bank assumed it in times of building. In front of the entrance of the Towers the S-Bahn-Station Taunusanlage is located. Another famous building, the Skyper, is located nearby.
The Building has three parts: A four-floor entrance building, and the 155-metre high East and West towers. They are not often referred to as the "twin towers" since the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center 'Twin Towers' in New York City, and is now often referred to as "Debit and credit" (German: "Soll und Haben") because it's the headquarters of Germany's biggest bank.[citation needed]
