35th, 31st, and 29th floor

The AfE Tower is a 116 meter tall skyscraper finished in 1972 in Frankfurt. It belongs to the campus Bockenheim of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University and houses the offices and seminar rooms of the departments of Social Sciences and Education. 




The acronym means AfE Department of Education (Abteilung für Erziehungswissenschaft), however, this division never moved into the tower, because it was closed before the opening of the building (from Wiki). The tower is built in a so called "brutalist manner", mainly in concrete.




Works of 7 artists will be installed at 3 upper floors of the tower.
