Frankfurt am Main, Italy

AfE-Turm

AfE-Turm ('AfE Tower') was a 38-storey (30 floors on its south side and 22 floors on its north side), 116 m (381 ft) skyscraper in the Westend district of Frankfurt, Germany. It was the tallest building in Frankfurt from 1972 to 1974. The building was part of the Bockenheim campus of the Johann Wolf

gang Goethe University and until 2013 housed the offices and seminar rooms of the departments of Social Sciences and Education. AfE is an acronym for Abteilung für Erziehungswissenschaft (Department of Pedagogy); however, this department never moved in because it was closed before the construction of the tower was finished, which happened in 1972. The tower was demolished on 2 February 2014.
