Deutsche Bank IBCF, Office tower in Frankfurt-Innenstadt, Germany.
Description
Deutsche Bank IBCF was a 93-meter-high tower with 21 floors, distinguished by its rectangular footprint and brown steel curtain wall featuring horizontally arranged window bands. The facade defined the building's appearance and gave it a clear, modern structure.
History
Erected between 1969 and 1971 from designs by architect F. Wilhelm Simon, the structure served as an investment banking center for Deutsche Bank. After nearly five decades, it was demolished in 2018 to make way for further development of the financial district.
Culture
The building embodied modernist design principles through its functional approach and lack of ornamental details, with horizontal window bands running across its entire facade. This style reflected its role as a contemporary symbol of the banking sector.
Practical
The tower occupied a central location in Frankfurt's banking district, positioned near major transportation hubs and other financial buildings. Its main entrance was situated on Große Gallusstraße, making it readily accessible within the downtown area.
Did you know?
The building gained fame as a filming location for a Tatort television episode before its demolition, capturing the tower in popular German crime drama. This unexpected role extended its presence in the city's cultural memory beyond its banking function.
