Börsenstraße 2–4 is an 8-story low-rise neoclassical building in Frankfurt, Germany. It directly faces the Börsenstraße (Stock Exchange Street) and the Freßgass to the west, the Börsenplatz (Stock Exchange Square) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange to the north, and the Biebergasse and the Rathenauplatz to the south. The Hauptwache is located fifty metres down the Biebergasse in the eastern direction. It thus occupies a highly central position in the Frankfurt central city district.
The building was completed in 1913, and was built for the
Oberjustizkasse[2] and of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper until 1961.[3] It was also the seat of the Bizonal Economic Council, the first de facto West German parliament and the immediate predecessor of the Bundestag
