List of tallest buildings by German federal state

The following is a list of the tallest high-rise buildings by German federal state, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. Not included are town halls like New Town Hall (Leipzig), Hamburg City Hall, New Town Hall (Dresden) or New Town Hall (Hanover) as well as non-habitable buildings like radio masts and towers, observation towers, steeples, chimneys, and other tall architectural structures.

By far the most high-rise buildings with a height of at least 100 meters are located in Hesse (44), followed by North Rhine-Westphalia (18), Berlin (13), Bavaria (8) and thirteen in other federal states.

Hesse is also the federal state whose largest city, Frankfurt, is the only real skyscraper city in Germany. Out of a total of 22 skyscrapers in Germany, meaning buildings at least 150 metres (492 ft) tall, 20 are located in Frankfurt. Six of them are 200 m (660 ft) or higher.
