Altes Polizeipräsidium, Former police headquarters building in Gallus, Frankfurt, Germany

The Altes Polizeipräsidium is a large administrative building in Frankfurt that combines Baroque Revival and Neoclassical stylistic features. The protected facades display elaborate architectural detailing across multiple floors with a symmetrical overall composition.

The building was constructed between 1911 and 1914 and subsequently served as Frankfurt's main police headquarters. Following severe damage during World War II in 1944, it was rebuilt and continued functioning as a police authority until 2002 before standing vacant.

The building's name changed with the times: opened in 1914 as the "Neues Königliches Polizeipräsidium am Hohenzollernhof", it is now called the Altes Polizeipräsidium. Its facade is a listed Kulturdenkmal under the Hessian monument protection law. The site has stood largely empty since the police moved out in 2002, with only parts used commercially.

The building is located at Friedrich-Ebert-Anlage 11 with good access via several nearby tram lines. The walk to the main station area is short, making arrival by public transport straightforward.

The 15,000-square-metre plot between Mainzer Landstraße, Ludwigstraße and Hohenstaufenstraße was sold by the state of Hesse in March 2018 for 212.5 million euros to the Düsseldorf developer Gerchgroup, which planned flats, offices, a hotel and a day nursery. In August 2023 the developer filed for insolvency, leaving the future of the vacant building open.
