        The skyscraper was built from 1968 to 1972 according to designs by the architect Hermann Henselmann as part of the redesign of the university campus on what was then Karl-Marx-Platz and was the tallest skyscraper in Germany when it was completed. It was used as a university building from 1973. After German reunification, the University of Leipzig had been considering selling the skyscraper since 1994, as the estimated renovation costs of 240 to 300 million DM were considerable. It was not until four years later, in May 1998, that the rectorate of the university finally decided to move out of the high-rise. The sales efforts failed for several years.

        In the years 1999 to 2002 the city skyscraper was completely renovated, the facade was clad with granite and glass.
