ThyssenKrupp-Quartier

ThyssenKrupp-Quartier, Corporate headquarters in Essen, Germany.

The ThyssenKrupp Quarter is an administrative headquarters in Essen that spans a large urban area with multiple office buildings and a central cube featuring a dynamic facade system. The complex connects different buildings through linked pathways and smaller squares.

The campus occupies the ground of Krupp's cast steel factory in Essen. Thyssenkrupp decided in 2006 to concentrate its administration in Essen and Duisburg; the symbolic first spade cut came on 12 June 2007, the foundation stone on 5 September 2008 with Berthold Beitz present, and the topping-out ceremony on 17 July 2009. The headquarters opened on 17 June 2010, moving over 2,000 jobs, most from the Dreischeibenhaus in Düsseldorf.

The campus is named after the Thyssen and Krupp steel dynasties, and it occupies the ground of Krupp's former cast steel factory. The public kindergarten Miniapolis, opened on 1 August 2012, takes about 100 children of employees and residents of neighbouring districts, so the quarter is used by local families as well as staff.

The campus is arranged along a central water axis that runs toward the cube-shaped Q1 building, with connecting paths and small squares laid out on a green carpet of trees. Q2 holds a conference centre for up to 1000 people and staff and guest catering. A public kindergarten, Miniapolis, opened on the site on 1 August 2012 for around 100 children of employees and nearby residents.

The Q1 cube's two glass faces, each 25.6 by 28.1 metres, are not supported from below or hung from above: they are tensioned vertically and horizontally like a tennis racket, giving up to half a metre under wind load. Each face uses 96 white glass panes weighing around 500 kilograms, built from 12 mm safety glass, a 16 mm gap and two 8 mm laminated safety glass layers with a 1.52 mm PVB solar-control film.
