history

High-rise building of the Federal Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection

After the occupation of the Rhineland in 1936 , the Troilokaserne was built during the armament of the Wehrmacht . It was named after the Prussian lieutenant colonel and later member of the Reichstag, Hans von Troilo (1865–1934). Then the building area was still outside the urban area of Bonn in office Duisdorf the district Bonn . Construction began on November 15, 1936, the topping-out ceremony was on October 6, 1937 and in early July 1938 the III. Battalion of the 77th Infantry Regiment .

After the Second World War , the former Troilo barracks was first used by Belgian occupation troops and since 1949 by ministries of the Federal Republic of Germany, which was founded in the same year . At the end of the 1960s, line-like buildings were built in the north of the former barracks complex with the involvement of the architect Sep Ruf ; in the northeast, a 13-story high-rise office building for the Ministry of Food and four three- to five-story office buildings were built on a square floor plan. In 1991 three-storey extensions were added.

Until the relocation of the seat of government to Berlin in 1999, the first offices of the Federal Ministries for Food, Agriculture and Forestry , for Labor and Social Affairs as well as the Defense (Human Resources Department) were housed here. The second offices of the Ministry of Food and the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs were left in the expanded Troilokaserne. From 2005 to 2007, a new, 13-story high-rise was built on the site for the Federal Ministry of Health .
