Foreign Office building in Bonn, Federal government office complex in Gronau, Germany
The Foreign Office building consists of two cross-shaped towers, featuring 11 and 14 stories, connected by smaller structures and pavilions on extensive grounds.
Construction began in 1953 and finished in 1955 under architects Hans Freese and Robert Glatzer, initially serving as headquarters for German foreign affairs.
The building complex incorporates numerous sculptures and art pieces from the 1970s and 1980s distributed across its green spaces.
The 14-floor tower now houses the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, accommodating 750 staff members with specialized facilities in the basement.
Each cross tower rests on four concrete pillars that support 6,000 tons, while the entrance base carries a substantial load of 20,000 tons.
