Facts
A fire on November 10 1997 destroyed parts of the 29th floor.
The tower was designed to hold 2,500 persons, but today more than 4,000 people often use it, leading to a discussion about closing the building for safety reasons.
According to latest reports the tower will be partly renovated and used by students until 2007.
There are plans to replace the building with a new tower called Bockenheim-Campus Areal, Büroturm 1.
AfE-Turm is located on grounds of the Goethe University Frankfurt which currently moves away to the north of Frankfurt. The area is currently prepared to be transferred into an office and residential zone.
