Buildings are more than the sum of their rooms. Their aura and language of form are a significant part of their owner’s identity. This idea was the focal point of our considerations when we began planning our new headquarters in 1999, which were completed in 2002.

Bearing our intentions in mind, the Cologne architects Fischer + Fischer designed a building for us that possesses symbolic value and, as a natural consequence, is something with which we can identify. Its exterior creates an unmistakable image and gives us the space and freedom to develop our unique corporate culture.
