Senckenberg Museum,
inspired by eternity

Demolition of the university tower

from big bang
to best location

Just a few seconds and the 116m high Frankfurt University Tower (AfE-tower) fell like a house of cards. This was the highest building to be demolished by explosives in the whole of Europe. The sensational big bang in 2014 heralded the transformation of the university site in Bockenheim into the Senckenberg- Quartier and into a vibrant cultural quarter (Kulturcampus).
