Bundesrechnungshof Frankfurt, Former federal audit office building in Altstadt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

The Bundesrechnungshof Frankfurt is an administrative building in Frankfurt's Altstadt with a Z-shaped layout, featuring a central eight-story section and two five-story wings on either side. The structure stands out for its 1100 colored glass windows integrated into the facade.

After the Bundestag chose Bonn as the provisional capital in 1949, Frankfurt was designated as the seat of the Federal Court of Auditors. The building, designed by Werner Dierschke and Friedel Steinmeyer after a 1951 competition, was inaugurated on 19 November 1953 by President Theodor Heuss. The court occupied it until moving to Bonn in 2000; the protected east wing was later renovated and has housed offices since 2018.

Built after the war as an administrative structure, the building shows how German architects approached modern design with steel frames and functional layouts. The 1100 colored glass windows became a defining feature that visitors notice as they walk through the Altstadt.

The building sits close to Paulskirche and is easy to reach on foot from the Altstadt center. Today it functions as Kornmarkt Arkaden with shops, apartments, and a hotel, allowing visitors to walk through the interior spaces and get a sense of the architecture.

At the 1953 inauguration, with President Theodor Heuss present, the piece performed was Beethoven's "Die Wut über den verlorenen Groschen". The building's entrance hall held a painting of Potsdam by Eberhard Schlotter, a nod to Potsdam as the seat of the Reich Court of Audit.
