description
The 67 m high building was designed by the architect Stephan Böhm and built by Philipp Holzmann AG as general contractor. It consists of a 17-storey core in the middle and five-storey building wings grouped around it. With a floor space of 21,037 square meters, it offers 45,608 square meters of rental space .
history
Since the beginning of the 1950s, the main administration of the Deutsche Bundesbahn had been in a high-rise building on the Platz der Republik (today Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage ), which was directly adjacent to the former Bundesbahndirektion Frankfurt . Due to the clearance of the railway areas around the Frankfurt main freight station for the construction of the Europaviertel , the headquarters of the Deutsche Bundesbahn had to move from its headquarters there. For this reason, the new head office was built about one kilometer west of the old location in 1991. The topping-out ceremony was held on September 3, 1992 and was completed in October 1993.
This was planned as the first construction phase. A realization of further construction phases was dropped due to the merger of the two German state railways to form Deutsche Bahn AG and a move to Berlin planned with it.
After the Deutsche Bundesbahn first moved into the building on October 25, 1993 , it served as the corporate headquarters of Deutsche Bahn from January 1, 1994 to 2000 , until it moved to the Bahnower in Berlin. Since then, it has been used as the headquarters of the Passenger Transport Management Board and the subsidiaries DB Fernverkehr , DB Regio and DB Vertrieb . In total, this building offers 1900 jobs. The old headquarters was demolished in 1994 with the help of a demolition.
In July 2010, the Hamburg issuing house Hesse Newman acquired the building for 73 million euros. The 45,608 square meters of rental space were rented to Deutsche Bahn until 2020. After the end of the lease in 2020, DB plans to move to a nearby new building on Europa-Allee , which was built by Aurelis . The new building was leased by DB for 20 years.
