European Central Bank
European Central Bank, Central bank skyscraper in Ostend, Frankfurt, Germany.
The European Central Bank headquarters rises 220 meters above Frankfurt with 45 floors, combining modern glass and steel architecture with the preserved historic Grossmarkthalle from the 1920s.
Construction began in 2010 and completed in 2014, with the building officially inaugurated on March 18, 2015, after four years of construction costing over 1.2 billion euros.
The site incorporates a memorial commemorating the 10,000 Jewish people who were deported from the preserved Grossmarkthalle between 1941 and 1945 during World War II.
The visitor center offers free guided tours lasting one hour and fifteen minutes from Monday to Friday, requiring advance reservations for groups of 1 to 40 people.
The building features sustainable technology including heating systems powered by computer-generated heat and rainwater collection for toilets, reducing its environmental footprint significantly.
