The House of Finance Building
The Goethe Business School is situated in the House of Finance, which on 30 May 2008, relocated to a new building designed by the architects Kleihues+Kleihues located in Frankfurt University’s “Campus Westend”. The dominant feature of this campus is the IG Farben Building by the architect Hans Poelzig. This building is an example of neoclassicist architecture, . This style was chosen as "a symbol for the scientific and mercantile German manpower, made out of iron and stone", as the "IG-Farben"-director at the time of the construction, Baron von Schnitzler, stated in his opening speech of October 1930. The floors, walls and ceiling of the foyer are decorated with a grid design that is continued throughout the entire building. Inspired by Raphael's mural, ‘The School of Athens, comes this design into its own in the flooring.
