The ECB’s glass office tower in the east of Frankfurt rises strikingly into the sky. Anyone interested can take part in a guided tour to get a closer look at where the guardians of the euro work. Stages of the 90-minute tour include the listed and extensively renovated Grossmarkthalle, the conference area with selected exhibits from the ECB’s art collection and the approximately 185-meter-high double office tower.
The building was designed by Viennese architect Wolf D. Prix and his architectural firm COOP HIMMELB(L)AU. During the tour, interesting details about the construction, energy efficiency and sustainability of the building are explained. The literal highlight of the tour is the ascent to the connecting level between the two office towers on the 27th floor. From there, you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the city of Frankfurt and its surroundings.
