Hochhaus Union Investment, Brutalist office building in Bahnhofsviertel, Frankfurt, Germany
Hochhaus Union Investment is a 20-story office building in Frankfurt reaching 93 meters high, defined by geometric concrete forms and clearly visible structural systems. The structure dominates the eastern side of the Bahnhofsviertel district and contains office spaces across multiple floors.
The building was completed in 1977 under architect Albert Speer, during Frankfurt's intensive post-war reconstruction period. The project emerged as the city was rebuilding its role as an international financial center.
The building displays brutalist design with raw concrete surfaces and visible structural elements that define its architectural expression. This style shapes how the neighborhood looks and appeals to those interested in modern architecture.
The building is located at Wiesenhuttenstrasse 2-12 near Frankfurt's central train station and financial district. The site is well served by public transportation and walking distance to the city center is short.
At night the building is highlighted by blue and white illumination, making it a distinctive point in the nighttime skyline. This lighting gives the raw concrete a different quality than during daylight hours.
