ThyssenKrupp Headquarters

ThyssenKrupp AG planned and realised the ThyssenKrupp Quarter Essen on an inner-city site of over 20 ha. The quarter for 2,500 employees includes both the new ThyssenKrupp headquarters and other office and administrative buildings of the group.

In addition, there is a multifunctional building with a conference centre and employee catering, as well as the ThyssenKrupp Academy, a hotel and other complementary buildings with a total of around 100,000 m².

The modern quarter was built according to the design of the architectural firm Chaix & Morel et Associés, Paris and JSWD Architekten und Partner, Cologne. Werner Sobek was responsible for the structural engineering of the special structures and facades.
