long article 5 min

Vor 25 Jahren zog die Goethe-Universität in das IG-Farben-Haus im Frankfurter Westend. Das Gebäude, einst Hauptsitz des Chemiekonzerns IG Farben, beherbergt seitdem geisteswissenschaftliche Institute. Der Umzug im Sommersemester 2001 brachte rund 8000 Studenten und 500 Angestellte auf den neuen Campus. Die Geschichte des Gebäudes ist umstritten, da IG Farben während des Nationalsozialismus in Verbrechen verwickelt war. Daher gibt es eine Debatte über den Namen, wobei einige "Poelzig-Bau" bevorzugen, um den Architekten anstelle des Konzerns hervorzuheben. IG Farben war 1928 das viertgrößte Unternehmen der Welt und entschied sich für Frankfurt als Standort aufgrund seiner zentralen Lage und der fortschrittlichen Baupolitik der Stadt.
