Doch bis dahin reicht weder dieser noch andere Neubauten der Stadt: nach dem Münchner Hochhausstreit 2004 entschied sich das Millionendorf für eine Begrenzung von Hochhäusern bis 99 Meter Höhe, um die beiden Türme der Frauenkirche, Münchens Wahrzeichen, nicht zu überbieten. [G] But neither this nor any other new buildings in the city will actually become skyscrapers: in Munich's "skyscraper referendum" in 2004 this "village with a million inhabitants" decided to limit high-rise buildings to a height of 99 metres so that they would not loom above the twin towers of the Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche), Munich's landmark.
