Depot Bockenheim, Cultural heritage monument in Bockenheim, Frankfurt, Germany
The Bockenheimer Depot features a three-nave hall constructed with unplastered yellow brick walls, adorned with red cornices and decorative bands throughout the structure.
Built around 1900 as a tram depot and main workshop for the Frankfurt tram system, the building replaced an earlier wooden hall used for horse-drawn trams.
The building now functions as a performance space for Oper Frankfurt and Schauspiel Frankfurt, presenting both classical and modern theatrical productions.
Located at Carlo-Schmid-Platz 1, the venue connects to multiple transit lines including U4, U6, U7 at Bockenheimer Warte station and tram line 16.
The wooden roof structure incorporates semicircular arch trusses based on French Renaissance architect Philibert Delorme's design, found in few existing buildings.
