Exzenterhaus, Architectural monument in Bochum, Germany

The Exzenterhaus reaches a height of 90.5 meters with its glass facade and consists of three sections shaped like polycentric rings extending outward from the central core.

The building stands upon a World War II air raid shelter from 1942 that provided protection for up to 3,000 people during bombing raids.

The name Exzenterhaus derives from Latin 'ex centro', reflecting its design where each of the three building sections extends beyond the central axis.

The structure contains 5,250 square meters of office space, features high-speed elevators reaching 6 meters per second, and connects directly to the Oskar-Hofmann-Straße station.

The design incorporates balconies on each floor that follow the direction of the cantilever, extending up to 4.5 meters from the building's core.
