Vodafone-Campus, Telecommunications headquarters in Heerdt, Germany.
The Vodafone-Campus is an office complex at Ferdinand-Braun-Platz 1 in Düsseldorf-Heerdt, completed in 2012. Its defining element is a 19-storey office tower with a glass façade and aluminium elements along Bundesstraße 7; the complex opens towards Willstätterstraße and is freely accessible.
The site opened in 2012 on former brewery land, consolidating several Vodafone divisions that had been spread across different locations in Dusseldorf. This merger of operations represented a significant shift in how the telecommunications company organized its workforce.
The name recalls the site's earlier use: part of the grounds held the Gatzweiler brewery from 1963 to 2008. Today the complex is openly accessible and opens towards Willstätterstraße, and the 19-storey tower on Bundesstraße 7 houses a public Vodafone service centre that visitors can enter.
The complex at Ferdinand-Braun-Platz 1 opens towards Willstätterstraße and is freely accessible to the public. The 19-storey tower on Bundesstraße 7 houses a public Vodafone service centre. For the new multi-storey car park, existing links to the motorway had to be relocated at considerable effort.
Part of the site was occupied by the Gatzweiler brewery from 1963 until 2008, before the office complex was built. The brewery's presence is not visible in the glass facade today, but the campus stands on ground where beer was brewed for four and a half decades.
