Return to the IG Farben building – the former SHAEF HQ – at Frankfurt (G), January 2017<\/span><\/h3>\n

In the late 1920ies the IG Farben building was the largest office building in Europe, designed for 5,000 employees. After WW2 it became the <\/span>
\n Supreme Headquarters, Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), the U.S. Army V. Corps HQ and was in the 1980ies re-named to Abrams Complex. <\/span>
\n Later President Ike Eisenhower and U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell had among others their office in the building. Today it is the <\/span>
\n home of the University of Frankfurt (Westend Campus). In the 1970ies it was used to be my playground after school.<\/span>
