Program
The Deutsche Bundesbank intends to construct an extension to its existing office building on its property in Frankfurt am Main. This extension is to house a computer center and two public-related facilities, i.e. a money museum and a specialist library, as well as offices and the associated infrastructure. The site is located approx. 2 km north-west of Frankfurt city center in the north-eastern part of the Bockenheim district. It is surrounded by roads on three sides: to the south by the A 66 highway, which merges into the so-called “Alleenring” (Miquel-Allee), to the west by the Rosa-Luxemburg-Straße, which is similar to a highway, and to the north by Wilhelm-Epstein-Straße.
The north-eastern spandrel of the property is bordered to the south by Ernst-Schwendler-Straße, which leads onto the property. To the south and west, the property is shielded from the roads by a wide green belt, the Miquelanlage. To the west of Rosa-Luxemburg-Strasse, the 331-metre-high telecommunications tower stands as a striking landmark, visible from afar. Otherwise, there are a number of housing estates in the immediate vicinity of the Deutsche Bundesbank. The Deutsche Bundesbank site is built on as follows:
The main building extends approximately 220 m long and 19 m wide with 15 storeys in an east-westerly direction on the southern half of the site. In front of the eastern third and linked to the main building by a single-storey connecting structure is the four-storey main cash desk building, which is around 70 m long and 55 m wide.
To the northwest of the property is a smaller, up to three-storey building complex with a guest house and apartments. The property is approximately 108,000 square meters in total. The buildable area is approx. 24,000 sqm.
The space program with approx. 18,500 sqm HNF is divided into entrance area with hall, computer center 5497 sqm, office area 6370 sqm, money museum 1402 sqm, specialist library 2505 sqm, service facilities 2103 sqm, gate 144 sqm, situation and reporting center 350 sqm,
civil protection 4370 sqm, energy supply and building services 5900 sqm, 670 parking spaces mainly in underground garages.
Jury recommendation: The work awarded 1st prize is recommended for realization.
