BHF-Bank-Hochhaus, Bank building in Frankfurt, Germany
Description
The BHF-Bank-Hochhaus is a bank building in Frankfurt's Westend district that rises 23 stories and 82 meters (269 feet) into the air. Its facade displays a regular pattern of horizontal window strips separated by dark parapet panels that run across the entire surface.
History
This structure was completed in 1965 according to designs by Sep Ruf and held the title of Frankfurt's tallest building when it was finished. It represented a turning point in the city's architectural development and set new standards for how tall buildings should look.
Culture
This structure shaped how Frankfurt developed as a banking hub, and it remains part of the city's identity as a major financial center. The way it stands in the Westend reflects how money and architecture shaped the neighborhood's character.
Practical
The building sits at Bockenheimer Landstrasse 10 in the Westend neighborhood and continues to serve as a bank headquarters. You can approach it easily from the street, and the entrance area is clearly visible from the surrounding area.
Did you know?
In front of the building stands a bronze sculpture called Brückenschlag that is made from 60,000 meters of bronze wire and weighs about 10 tons. This art installation creates an unexpected link between the tower's modern architecture and public art in the square.
