Eschborn: The Cube
The Deutsche Börse Group headquarters are located approximately seven kilometres from the centre of Frankfurt at Mergenthalerallee 61 in Eschborn.
The 21-story building is about 90 metres high and consists of two L-shaped towers which are linked by eleven walkways and eight bridges. The entire structure is encased in a glass façade. The building has been constructed to the highest ecological standards; an integrated combined heat and power unit provides up to 30 per cent of the electricity needed.
In the Group headquarters, employees mainly work in open-plan office facilities. A variety of conference rooms on different floors are suitable for smaller and larger meetings. The offices are modern, highly flexible units, made light and airy by large window fronts. The spacious foyer forms the heart of the building; it is a place of communication and is used as a stage for a variety of events.
Photographs from the Art Collection Deutsche Börse offer inspiration and add an individual note to the building’s interior. Large-format works by German and international artists were compiled for the collection. An extensive art terrace offers the perfect setting for special exhibitions. Artworks also add to the ambience in the building’s spacious staff restaurant with an area of 2,000 square metres.
In the typical architectural style of the Group, the office buildings, named “The Square”, are light, spacious and open-plan, encouraging communication and interaction among employees. The architectural style and furnishing is in line with the corporate design. As part of corporate culture, the art collection “XL Photography” has also been extended to Luxembourg, with a number of contemporary art works exhibited for the pleasure of both employees and visitors.
At the same time, The Square’s large glass fronts combined with terracotta also emphasise the individual characteristics of the location. The building’s modern and innovative character is also reflected in its centralised recycling system.
The Clearstream headquarters are located in the Kirchberg business and financial centre. The staff restaurant offers a wide choice of dishes and the large shopping mall just opposite the front entrance makes for a nice change of scenery at lunch time.
Deutsche Börse Services s.r.o focuses on the areas of trading, clearing and settlement. The Prague office supports the development and maintenance of Deutsche Börse Group’s IT systems, working in close cooperation with colleagues from the other main locations. The specialised development teams are often cross-border entities made up of employees from various locations. The projects thereby profit from the strong network between the Group locations in Prague, Frankfurt and Luxembourg. Clearstream Operations Prague s.r.o mainly focuses on back-office operations for the custody and settlement areas.
The teams of Deutsche Börse Services s.r.o and Clearstream Operations Prague s.r.o both work in the Futurama Business Park, situated in the city’s Karlin (Prague 8) district. The building is close to the underground station Invalidovna. A number of shops, restaurants and hotels are nearby. The district of Karlin is a popular location for Czech and international companies.
The Chicago office encompasses both sales activities and IT operations, working in close collaboration with colleagues from other Deutsche Bӧrse Group companies and locations. In addition to sales and IT operation, Chicago is also the location of centralized administration and Human Resources for North America. Mere steps away from the Financial district, the hub of Futures Trading in the United States, the Chicago office is unique in that sales and IT work closely together and have easy access to the customer offices.
The tower is located in downtown Chicago, and as you might expect, there is easy access to world-class fine dining as well as quick–casual options. Chicago is easily accessible via air travel and has a well developed public transportation system.
Besides Clearstream Banking, Republic Plaza also houses our sister entities - Eurex Frankfurt AG, Singapore Branch, Eurex Clearing Asia Ltd (ECAL), Market Data & Services (MD&S) and last but not least 360T, all under one-roof. Together, DBG currently occupies two floors - Levels 55 and 56. These high floors provide a panoramic view and breath-taking scenery of Singapore. Such close proximity encourages better communication and interaction amongst the employees across the entities. As part of the Group’s culture, Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) and Annual Company events such as Chinese New Year Luncheon and Year-end Christmas Party usually involve employees of all entities, encouraging them to come together and celebrate as “One Deutsche Börse Group.”
Nearby, the Local Big 3 Banks (DBS, UOB and OCBC) provide easy access with convenient banking facilities for the working group. A variety of restaurants, salad bars, cafes and shopping malls caters a wide range of interesting selections for the office crowd during lunchtime. Indeed, the Central Business District is a fast-paced and vibrant scene during the workweek, which is a great contrast to the extreme seclusion on weekends.
