The Schürmann-Bau is an office building in the Gronau district of Bonn constructed in 2002. It was named after its architect, Joachim Schürmann . Since July 2003, the building has housed the headquarters of the German public broadcaster Deutsche Welle, although it was originally planned as an office building for the members of the Bundestag.
During the building's construction, the site was heavily damaged by a flood of the river Rhine in December 1993. The damaged construction site underwent renovations that cost an estimated 700 million euros, making it one of the most expensive construction projects in German post-war history.
