Bildungs- und Kulturzentrum Frankfurt

Bildungs- und Kulturzentrum Frankfurt, Educational complex in Höchst district, Frankfurt, Germany.

The Bildungs- und Kulturzentrum Frankfurt is a reinforced concrete skeleton building in Höchst, completed in 1975. Its main wing along Gebeschusstraße is about 100 metres long and 50 metres wide, with a five-storey central section and lower two-storey side wings whose roofs serve as terraces. The main entrance, reached by a five-step stair, opens onto a small courtyard inside the building lit through a roof opening.

The site's predecessor was the Volksbildungsheim, created in 1927 by converting the former Höchster Bürgersaal; the Bund für Volksbildung soon handed it to the city, and after World War II the United States Army requisitioned it. The Saalbau GmbH took it over in 1957, and after a final renovation in 1965 the city had it demolished. On 1 April 1972 school official Peter Rhein presented plans for a multifunctional education building, unique in Germany at the time; the first spade was turned on 14 October 1972, and teaching began on 4 February 1975.

The building's nickname Bikuz comes from its full name, and the school is often called Bikuz by locals because it received the name Friedrich Dessauer only in 1982, seven years after opening. The Filmforum Höchst cinema has its administrative office here, and the ground floor holds the Höchst library centre with about 35,000 media.

The complex stands at the corner of Gebeschusstraße and Michael-Stumpf-Straße in northwestern Höchst, bordering Unterliederbach; the grounds reach east toward Königsteiner Straße and are bounded south by Adelonstraße. Frankfurt-Höchst station lies directly to the south, and the "Höchst Bahnhof Nordseite" bus stop north of the site is served by city lines 50 and 59 and regional line 253. The Leibnizschule secondary school and the 17th police station face it across Gebeschusstraße, with the Höchst customs office to the west.

The building was mocked as "Kubiz" at its 1972 cornerstone laying, a pun on its cubic form; the name Bikuz later stuck to the whole centre. The Friedrich-Dessauer-Gymnasium, which occupies the second and third floors, was only named after the physicist Dessauer in 1982, seven years after lessons began.
