The Bundesbank is making its Central Office in Frankfurt am Main fit for the future. The Bundesbank launched an ideas competition for the design of the future campus back in 2018, inviting submissions from architects across Europe. Its Executive Board chose the design pitched by Frankfurt-based architecture firm Ferdinand Heide Architekten. This winning design was the basis for an international architectural competition, which was launched in summer 2019 and concluded in spring 2020. A jury of 13, made up of renowned architects and representatives from the Bundesbank and the City of Frankfurt am Main, selected six prize winners and awarded two honourable mentions out of a total of 29 designs entered in the competition.
