German Architecture Museum, Architecture museum in Sachsenhausen, Frankfurt, Germany

The German Architecture Museum occupies a neoclassical double villa built in 1912 on the Museumsufer in Sachsenhausen-Nord, gutted from 1979 to 1984 and fitted with a white reinforced-concrete house-within-a-house by Oswald Mathias Ungers. A single-storey exhibition hall was added on the former garden, and a projecting dark-brown brick entrance with the museum's name in white lettering stands before the main facade. The white upper facade with tall rectangular windows and a dark mansard roof with five dormer windows rises above it.

The museum occupies a neoclassical double villa built in 1912, which was gutted from 1979 to 1984. Architect Oswald Mathias Ungers inserted a white reinforced-concrete house-within-a-house and added a single-storey exhibition hall on the former garden. It reopened in June 2025 after renovation.

The museum shows how architecture shapes cities and living spaces, something visitors can experience through the displayed models and drawings on view. The collection reveals how people form their surroundings through building and design.

The museum closed from late September 2021 for renovation and reopened at its original Sachsenhausen-Nord site in early June 2025; during the closure, exhibitions ran at the interim venue DAM Ostend. The reference library holds about 25,000 books and magazines. The entrance zone was placed in front of the villa toward the Main.

The collection holds about 600 architectural models, alongside roughly 180,000 drawings, with works by Erich Mendelsohn, Mies van der Rohe, Archigram and Frank O. Gehry. The museum also grants the International High-Rise Award and the DAM Prize for Architecture in Germany.
