Exzenterhaus (German for "eccentric house"[3]) is a commercial office building in Bochum, Germany.[1] The building was constructed on top of a 22 metre tall bomb shelter built during the World War II era. Construction on the building started in 2009 and was completed in 2013.[1] The building rises 15 storeys above the top of the bunker and at 90.5 metre tall, it is the tallest building in Bochum.[1][4]

The newer portion of the structure is separated in three different five storey sections, each which cantilever up to 4.5 meters, giving the impression of a twisting structure.[5][1] The first two floors of the bunker portion of the structure contains a reception area, while the remainder of this potion is used for archival and storage purposes.[1] It is located adjacent the Oskar-Hofmann-Straße station of the Bochum Stadtbahn.
