The Kristall Tower in Hamburg's Altona district is located directly on the Norderelbe at the eastern end of the Holzhafen, which, built at the beginning of the 18th century, is considered Hamburg's oldest artificial harbor. With a height of 72 meters, the Kristall Tower actually consists of two towers (Twintower) and houses 37 high-quality apartments on its 17 and 20 floors respectively. A highlight of the building, at 66 meters high, is Germany's largest glass exterior elevator.
Stefan Lindner lives and works in Dresden, Germany. As a graduate engineer for furniture construction, he manufactured furniture in the Bauhaus style for a long time. Their straightness and functionality inspired him as a self-taught photographer since the late 90s to photograph modern architecture. Here it is the clearly structured facades of concrete, steel and glass that inspire him to design the photos in black and white, and in which he also often likes to abstract. In doing so, he tries to find the perspective that emphasizes the uniqueness of the building through detailed planning.
