Former ARAG main administration building
The former ARAG headquarters building at the Heinrich Straße 155 in Düsseldorf district Mörsenbroich was in 1956 by Helmut Rhode for the General Legal Protection Insurance Ltd. built. The building is an "important contribution to the architecture of the 1950s in Düsseldorf [...] The interior furnishings and fittings are also exemplary for the 1950s". The building is eight storeys high and has a slightly recessed stacked storey at the top. The roof finish is a protruding cornice. The basic Y-shape is "most noticeable". There are three concave, swinging facades and three straight clinker walls. The curved facades with their glazed grid facade are “characteristic of the construction period”.
The building is a listed building .
The building ensemble at Mörsenbroicher Ei also included the now demolished ARAG terrace house (step house), where the ARAG tower now stands.
