The Casino

   The Officers' Club, also known as The Casino and Terrace Club. It is part of the I.G. Farben complex, situated just north of the Farben building. This photo is probably from the 1950s or 60s.

Here's a contemporay view; presumably the building is now part of the Goethe Universität:

On May 11, 1972, this building was destroyed in a bomb blast, but was subsequently rebuilt.
