AfE-Turm

The AfE Tower stood 116.4 meters tall with 32 floors, featuring precast lightweight concrete elements and two distinct sections for different academic functions.

Built in 1972, the tower served as part of Johann Wolfgang Goethe University's Bockenheim campus until its demolition by controlled implosion in 2014.

The tower contained educational facilities for Social Sciences and Psychology departments, with a library occupying the north section of the building.

Seven elevators provided access throughout the building, which exceeded its intended capacity of 2,500 students, resulting in extended waiting periods.

The building's design incorporated different floor heights between its north and south sections, creating a complex internal navigation system.
