The high-rise office building at the eastern end of Frankfurt's former Westhafen, the Westhafen Tower, also known by Frankfurters as the "Geripptes" (apple cider glass) because of its outer shell made of triangular glass panes, is a 112.3 meter high building. It was designed by the architects Schneider + Schumacher and completed in 2004.

Architectural feature is the diamond-shaped facade structure. 3,556 triangular glass panes form the outer skin. The structure of the glazing, reminiscent of a Frankfurt cider wine glass, popularly brought the skyscraper the name "ribbed".
