The Hadar Dafna Building ( Hebrew בִּנְיָן הָדָר דַּפְנָה Binjan Hadar Dafnah , German 'Glanz-Dafnahs-Bau' ) is a high-rise complex on the Sderot Scha'ul ha-Melech  39 (Scha'ul-ha-Melech-Allee) / corner of Rechov Henrietta Szold (Henrietta-Szold-Straße ) in Tel Aviv in Israel .

building

The building complex was built in 1971 on a plot of more than 30,000 square meters as an office and administration building according to plans by the Israeli architects Ram Karmi and Grynhaus Architects in the brutalist style. The angular structure closes off the corner property opposite the two streets. It consists of four partial structures, some of which are staggered against each other and of different heights, with between 9 and 14 storeys. The elongated, 12-storey wing of the building at Rechov Henrietta Szold (רְחוֹב הֶנְרִיֶיטָה סאלְד) rises in the corner area to the Sderot Scha'ul ha-Melech (שְׂדֵרוֹת שָׁאוּל המֶלֶךְ) on 14 floors with a total height of about 56 m and is thus the highest part of the building. The building complex comprises more than 1,000 office rooms as well as additional areas for administration, municipal services and businesses. The construction project was carried out by the Israeli Meshulam Levinstein Contracting & Engineering Ltd. executed.

use

The building was used as an office and administration building and originally housed banks, a post office and other usable areas; today it mainly serves as the administrative center. So there were u. a. various departments of the Israel Ministry of Education. The building is also the seat of the Tel Aviv District Prosecutor's Office.

According to various rumors and media reports, such as depictions in novels, for example in Frederick Forsyth's Faust Gottes , Tim Powers ' Three Days to Never or Patrick Robinson's Nimitz Class , facilities of the Israeli foreign intelligence service Mossad or its headquarters in Tel Aviv are said to have been located in the building . This information is supported by the statements of individual former Mossad agents such as Victor Ostrovsky or Gad Schimron .
