The two polygonal office towers of the Viennese architects' office Coop Himmelb (l) au, completed in 2014 and altogether 185 meters high, look like a tower through their connections and stand next to the listed building of the former Frankfurt Grossmarkthalle, built in 1928 to the plans of the architect Martin Elsaesser. The barrel vaults of the Grossmarkthalle are intersected by the so-called entrance building, which connects the hall and the towers. All three buildings together today are the seat of the European Central Bank, the central bank of the European Union.

From the ECB to the east, first drive along the Main for a while and then drive along the port basin from the Osthafen. Impressive views and a real harbor atmosphere. Even if it's just "Bonsai Hamburg Harbor". And at the end of the harbor basin is the Schwedler See. Also worth seeing and a visit in summer.
