The Dreischeibenhaus ({{langx|en|"Three plates building"}}, also known as the Dreischeibenhochhaus) is a 95-metre office building in August-Thyssen-Straße in the Hofgarten district of the Düsseldorf city centre. It was also known as the Thyssenhaus or Thyssen-Hochhaus owing to its former use as the headquarters of the Thyssen and ThyssenKrupp groups. It is among the most significant examples of post-war modernist International style and a symbol of the so-called Wirtschaftswunder, or 'economic miracle' of post-war Germany, and contrasts with the neighbouring Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus on Gustaf-Gründgens-Platz. Dreischeibenhaus, The "Three Plates Building" (a rough translation of its name in German), was one of the first skyscrapers to be completed in Germany after WW2.{{cite web|title=Mi Modern Architecture|url=http://www.mimoa.eu/projects/Germany/D%FCsseldorf/Dreischeibenhaus}}
In the early 1990s the building was completely refurbished including a new curtain wall matching the appearance of the original, but with improved thermal performance and moisture control.{{Cite web|url=https://pure.tue.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/4387987/496297.pdf|title=Curtain wall refurbishment : a challenge to manage.
