Volksbank, Freiburg, Germany
![]() This building across the road from
Freiburg's hauptbahnhof is the headquarters of
Volksbank. The future of this 1970s building is
apparently a subject of some debate. An article
in the Badische Zeitung on March 6, 2015 explained
that the discussions are centered around whether to
refurbish it or demolish and rebuild it. The
article pointed out that, "...The old building is
dilapidated, the facade has to be renewed,
according to Barth, the ventilation and all
the technology needs to be replaced."
If it is to be replaced then the issue is how high the
new new building can be to satisfy local planners
while providing the bank with adequate space for its
employees.
