Fernmeldehochhaus, Telecommunications complex in Frankfurt, Germany
The Fernmeldehochhaus consisted of multiple structures, including an eight-story main building, administrative spaces, and the West Tower reaching 69 meters in height.
Construction began in 1951 after selecting the location due to preserved underground communication cables from previous infrastructure, completing the complex in 1956.
The building represented the Deutsche Bundespost's commitment to modern telecommunications, accommodating up to 5,000 employees in its advanced workplace environment.
The complex contained radio transmission facilities, television broadcasting offices, international communication departments, and telegraph services across 17,000 square meters.
The height restriction mandated the West Tower not exceed Frankfurt Cathedral's height, influencing the architectural design of this telecommunications center.
