Blauer Bock, Modern architectural structure in central Magdeburg, Germany.

The Blauer Bock featured a distinctive blue-tiled facade extending 90 meters in length and rising 27 meters with seven floors of residential units.

Built in 1967, the structure initially served as a residence for nurses working at the nearby women's clinic before becoming vacant after German reunification.

The ground floor contained various retail spaces, including the GDR travel agency, and connected to the Karstadt department store via a pedestrian passage.

The demolition in 2016 produced 15,000 tons of construction waste, with most materials entering the recycling stream for environmental sustainability.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed remains of a 10th-century farmstead and a well from the 12th or 13th century.
