FRANKFURT – The European Central Bank's new headquarters towers over the Main River in Frankfurt, a gleaming symbol of modern Europe. At its base stands a searing reminder of the continent's dark history.

Below the newly built skyscraper, a concrete ramp stretches down into a dark basement. Ten-thousand Jews awaited expulsion to concentration camps from the room between 1941 and 1945.

Men, women and children filed from the basement to the nearby railroad tracks, boarding trains with nothing except deep uncertainty about their future. Others watched the trains pass from a footbridge, many bidding goodbye to loved ones for the last time.

Today, the basement, railroad tracks, footbridge and surrounding area are preserved as part of a memorial that lies on both public land and the ECB premises. The memorial carries powerful memories of the Holocaust near the offices of some of Europe's top policymakers.

"A memorial on the east side of the building has been built to remind us, and those who come after us, of deeds that cannot and must never be forgotten," ECB President Mario Draghi said during the inauguration of the new premises in March 2015.

The ECB chose the site of the Grossmarkthalle, or wholesale market hall, as the location for its new headquarters in 2001. Construction was completed in 2014. The design maintained the original appearance of the Grossmartkhalle building, which was used to sell fruits and vegetables across the region for most of the 20th century. The red brick exterior contrasts with the glossy windows of the adjacent towers.

The ECB collaborated with the City of Frankfurt am Main and Jewish Community Frankfurt to incorporate a memorial that would represent a dark period in the history of the Grossmarkthalle. Architects Tobias Katz and Marcus Kaiser won an international competition to design the memorial with their plans to include haunting descriptions of the deportations engraved throughout the site.

"I don't know what lies before me. Maybe that's good," reads one quotation inside the cellar.

Katz said many people in Frankfurt were not aware that the Grossmarkthalle served as an assembly point for Jews before they were deported. Their design aimed to draw attention to the deportations while preserving the original space, including the basement, parts of the railroad tracks, a signal box and a footbridge.

"It was very important for us to make it visible," he said. "Now we can see people walking at the market hall or ECB and see them discovering these quotations and starting to think."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_of_the_European_Central_Bank

The European Central Bank (ECB) is seated at the East end of Frankfurt. The premises include the former Wholesale Market Hall (Großmarkthalle), a new 185/165 m twin-skyscraper and a new low-rise building to connect the two. Located east of the city centre it houses the new headquarters for the European Central Bank (ECB).[6] It was completed in 2014 and was officially opened on 18 March 2015.

The ECB is required by the Treaties of the European Union to have its seat within the city limits of Frankfurt, the largest financial centre in the Eurozone.[7] The ECB previously resided in the Eurotower and, due to lack of office space there, in three other high-rise buildings (Eurotheum, Japan Center, and Neue Mainzer Straße 32–36) in the city centre of Frankfurt.

Architecture

The newly built main office building consists of two towers that are joined by an atrium with four interchange platforms. The North tower has 45 storeys and a roof height of 185 m (607 ft), whereas the South tower has 43 storeys and a roof height of 165 m (541 ft). With the antenna, the North tower reaches a height of 201 m (659 ft). The new ECB premises furthermore comprises the Grossmarkthalle, a former wholesale market hall built from 1926–1928 and fully renovated for its new purpose.

Lots of numbers there.
The first thing I see was it was opened March 18 = 3/18 = 666. You could possible sum and compress the year to 3. 1+5 = 6/2 = 3?

Thats about the only thing I see. There's a couple prime numbers. 43 = 14th prime - 1st "tower". 607 = 111th prime - 2nd "tower".

holocaust = 33.

/edit:
The video duration = 2:02. = 2+2 = 22 = Power number = number for the Fool in Tarot
The video duration = 122 seconds, If you reflect 122 you get 221 = "The Bavarian Illuminati".
/end edit.

I don't have enough knowledge of what words have what number values. Would be a case of punching in a bunch of words to find matches. I'll poke around that football guys site later and see if he lists any words that match the numbers. He tends to turn the word values into images and link them so they don't show up in searches.

good catch Glass... I'd be curious to know the latitude and longitude of the building, or its distance from rome and/or london. maybe I will search tomorrow if not too busy.

50 degrees N (50.10944)
8 degrees E (8.7025)

Not sure what other things on one of those lines.

I hear the numberology guy talking about meridians, so I think the 8.7025 is a meridian. Greenwich is the Prime meridian of Zero.

OK Ding Ding.
Some Stuff on the numbers again. The buildings are 43 and 45 storeys.
43 = 45 = 88
8 = the infinite cycle of time.
8th meridian
88 total storeys

888

8 being infinite cycle of time is why Back to the Future uses 88 miles per hour.

The architects name =Coop Himmelb = 666

More on Meridians. before Napoleon was defeated France was home to the "Prime" meridian. That is now 2.20 East because Prime Meridian been moved to London. 22 is that Tarot Fool number again
And I think before that it was in Egypt and I think Napoleon got it from them.

22 is also the Master Mason number

Getting way of track now.
For anyone who doesn't know the Fool in Tarot symbolizes Jesus. The one who is continually returning only to die to save others.
Characters in history and popular culture who have been analogies for the Saviour include:
King Arthur
Donnie Darko
Super Man
Jake Sully - Avatar character
Curtis - Snow Piercer (curtis anagram for curist)

yeah, it does add up... good search and I didnt know the prime meridian had been moved. Wow, they really control the science of Numbers. Or think they can.

ooh by the way, the frankfurt-london traveling distance is
396.03 miles, which give either 3 or 9. 3 if you count the decimals, 9 decimals non included. But it is precise by 1/3 of a mile.

The ECB is required by the Treaties of the European Union to have its seat within the city limits of Frankfurt

There's a reason for that.
