Großmarkthalle, Market hall in Ostend, Frankfurt, Germany

The concrete structure spans 220 meters in length and 50 meters in width, featuring fifteen barrel vaults that create a massive covered trading space.

Martin Elsaesser designed this architectural monument in 1926, and when completed in 1928, it stood as the largest building in Frankfurt at that time.

Between 1941 and 1945, the basement areas served as a deportation center for Jewish citizens, leading to the creation of a memorial site in 2015.

The building now functions as part of the European Central Bank headquarters, incorporating modern office spaces while maintaining its original structural elements.

The barrel vault roof system consists of exceptionally thin concrete shells, measuring only 7 centimeters in thickness despite spanning 14 meters each.
