The Supporter: Daniel Kieckhefer
The SKYLINE ATLAS goes back to Michael Wutzke who as the initiator of the information portal and Daniel was helping him for a long time maintaining the website. The SKYLINE ATLAS is intended to inform the public about the dynamics of the Frankfurt skyline. In the meantime, other authors and creators have become part of the editorial team and the publication has developed an independence.
Daniel comes from Chicago and knows the high-rise architecture in Frankfurt because he spent many years there. He wrote articles from time to time and oversaw this English-language edition which often needs translations from the original German version.
“Frankfurt and Chicago are two special cities whose histories are linked.”
