For more than 30 years, the union-led building corporation was responsible for the planning and construction of more than 400,000 apartments.

Campus Deutsche Bundesbank
DAM Schaumainkai Schaumainkai 43, Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, DeutschlandThe Deutsche Bundesbank is in the process of modernising its Central Office in Frankfurt am Main, completely refurbishing the striking main building, which dates from 1972. Additional office buildings are being constructed on site to make room for all members of staff belonging to the Central Office in Frankfurt.

The Newest Frankfurt – Building on May’s Ideas
DAM Schaumainkai Schaumainkai 43, Frankfurt am Main, Hessen, DeutschlandGottfried Böhms 100th birthday is on January 23, 2020. We intend to celebrate it: with an exhibition devoted to the pilgrimage church in Neviges, one of his most important designs. Commissioned by Franciscan monks and the second largest church in the Archdiocese of Cologne, a concrete cathedral was built between 1963 and 1968. The folded roof is currently being refurbished with an innovative textile-reinforced concrete layer.
In 2005 and 2006, there were major exhibitions at the DAM of the work of Gottfried Böhm and his father Dominikus Böhm. This exhibition presents archive materials from when the pilgrimage church was built and associates them with a view of the future. An extensive series of lectures brings together Böhm’s three architect sons, provides an insight into the technique of concrete restoration, and also enables the film “Die Böhms – Architektur einer Familie” to be shown in Frankfurt again.

The exhibition is supported by Ed. Züblin AG.
