The Schürmann-Bau is an office building in the Gronau district of Bonn. Its construction was completed in 2002, and it was named after its architect, Joachim Schürmann . Since July 2003, the building has housed the headquarters of the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle, although it was originally planned as an office building for the members of the Bundestag.[1]
During the building's construction, the site was heavily damaged by a flood of the Rhine river in December 1993. The damaged construction site underwent renovations that cost an estimated 700 million euros, making it one of the most expensive construction projects in German post-war history.
Reception edit
In 2004, the Schürmann-Baiu received one of five architecture prizes awarded every three years bythe Association of German Architects. [2]
Art edit
Starting from September 2004, a series of art objects created by international artists have been on display outside the Schürmann-Bau building. The collection features artworks such as "Fest für Neptun" by Sokari Douglas Camp, "Ich und der Hahn - Hören und Sehen" by Babak Saed and "Comunicación cruzada" by Manuel Marin.
