Technical Administration Building of Hoechst AG, Office building in Höchst, Germany.
The Technical Administration Building of Hoechst AG is an office building in Frankfurt-West featuring two connected administrative wings and a central tower structure. The main hall with its height and solid structural elements forms the core of this industrial facility.
Peter Behrens designed this brick expressionist building in 1920 for the Hoechst dye works. Until 1925, it served as the center for technical administration of one of Europe's leading chemical companies.
The building displays distinctive brickwork with octagonal skylights and sturdy pillars that define the interior spaces. This crafted approach shows how early industrial design merged practical function with visual character.
The building sits at Brüningstrasse 50 in Frankfurt am Main and can be visited during scheduled open days. Check beforehand when tours are available, as access is only granted at specific times.
From 1947 to 1974, the silhouette of the tower and bridge section formed the official logo of the Hoechst company. This symbol represented the company to the world for decades.
