Europe has always been on the forefront of design & architectural innovation. Contemporary architecture is as European as historic architecture. I would expect more from a Hamburger than wallowing in nostalgia.
While London is neither, trying to be both but painfully failed.
We have classy skyscrappers, tasteful. A gherkin to put in your arse, a walkie talkie for emergencies when the gherkin won’t come out and the Mt. Doom (aka the Shard) to scare the crap out of you, and hence shit out the gherkin.
Housing crisis go brrrrr
I’d accept any skyline if it meant I can afford a house
Where’s your gherkin building, Hans?
Ornament und Verbrechen, Hans.
Well it was more beautiful before some rowdy right wing drugged up folk flew over and bombed it…. Might say us modern touring Barrys are just returning the gift

None may stand taller than the house of dog
Is that the second financial capital of the world; Günnenstadt?
I’m not going to be criticised by someone who doesn’t even have a building in the shape of a gherkin.
This but unironically
Franky, there needs to be something like Turning Torso or Karlatornet to make a contrast .
Proper German skyline:

The only good view of the London skyline is in the rear view mirror of your car as you drive far away from it.
Urban hellscape or sophisticated architecture
Only a yank would hve trouble choosing.

I mean you invented the Bauhaus movement Hans. It’s basically all your fault (like everything else).
This would be better then, Hans?

Yank here. This is 100% correct.

Accidentally, I’m sure
