Frankfurt Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Frankfurt at Night Frankfurt at Night Paul Carlin Frankfurt am Main, also known as Mainhattan and Bankfurt, is a rich city in central Germany with 650.000 inhabitants. For many travellers coming from overseas it will be the first point of call in Europe, because of its airport, the leading freight airport in Europe and largest in terms of passengers on the european continent. Frankfurt is a city with two faces: on the one hand it is the cut-throat financial capital of Germany and on the other it is a civilized place which spends more per year on the arts than any other city in Europe. And although other German towns have done a better job in preserving their beautiful traditional city centres, a stay in Frankfurt will permit you to discover a very lively and international city with many things to do, both during daytime and at night. In fact, Frankfurt is a thriving cultural centre for the whole of Hesse, with a good selection of theatres and galleries, and an even better range of museums, amongst them some architectural highlights. Over half of the city, including almost all of the centre, was destroyed during world war II and the rebuilders opted for innovation rather than restoration. The result is a skyline that smacks more of Chicago than of Germany. Each year, Frankfurt hosts a multitude of overseas and domestic visitors. It is a dynamic European metropolis and a melting pot of cultures, languages and lifestyles. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the most famous German writer, was born in this liberal-minded city almost 250 years ago. More than 150 years ago the city was the centre of the German parliamentary movement of 1848/49 and the meeting place of the "Frankfurt National Assembly” which was of historical importance for the democratic development of Germany. In 1948 it was Frankfurt, where the first steps were taken to found the Federal Republic of Germany. The city is spread out on the banks of the Main river, the biggest part of town lies on the north bank. The city centre is located east of the central train station, this is where most banks and other institutions are as well. The south bank is known as Sachsenhausen and is very nice to explore. Most of the museums are located on the Museumsufer, the south bank of the main, near the city centre. Römerplatz is the place where the old medieval heart used to beat and a good spot from which to explore the historical buildings of that area, such as the Römer and the St. Bartholomäus church. If you have more time to spend, Frankfurt is a perfect starting point for daytrips up the Rhine river towards Rudesheim or Heidelberg and only a 30 minutes train trip away from Wiesbaden, Mainz or Marburg. _______Sights Edit This Frankfurt can compete with major other cities in the world. Although it is the ruthless financial centre of Germany on the one hand, it sure has an impressive cultural and artistic site on the other hand. Especially around the Museumufer (Schaumainkai), the south bank of the Main river, you’ll find an impressive array of museums. Make sure you pay a visit to the Jewish museum, to name only one of them. The heart of the old medieval centre is at Römerplatz, surrounded by several impressive buildings and famous churches such as the St Bartholomäus church or the Dom.

The building is used nowadays as a venue for meetings, price-giving ceremonie setc. A couple of years ago, the large bronze bell in the tower fell down.

Guide Frankfurt Travel Guide and Frankfurt Travel Information - TravelPuppy.com The fifth biggest city in Germany, Frankfurt on Main (Frankfurt am Main) has gained enormous economic power, both within Germany and abroad, thanks to its position as a key transport hub and its status as a major venue for international trade fairs and business events. Situated in the middle of the highly productive Rhine-Main region in Germany, right at the centre of Europe, the city is the financial heart not only of Germany but also of the European Union, pumping Euros into the world economy. A settlement since at least 3000BC, Frankfurt’s long and successful history of commerce stemmed initially from its central geographical location on the Main River but also from the Frankfurt Messe (fair). The Messe has been going since the 12th century, it is mentioned in a Jewish manuscript dating from 1160, and the city received its official Imperial privilege to hold an annual trade fair in 1240. The city got its current name around AD500, when the Franks ruled the area and the settlement along the Main Fort transportation route became known as Franconovurd. Frankfurt’s substantial political and cultural prestige is based on a fortunate history of decisive events. In 855, it became the election city for future monarchs. From 1562, the coronations of German emperors were held in the city’s Cathedral of St Bartholomew. The Frankfurt Börse (Stock Exchange) began trading in 1585, moving to Börsenplatz, its current home, in 1879. In 1815, Frankfurt was declared a free city and part of the German Union, with the Budestag, the Union’s highest committee, located here. Frankfurt University, which took the name of the city’s most famous son, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, in 1932, opened in 1914, just before the war that would forever change the face of Germany and indeed all of Europe. If Frankfurt’s political aspirations were dashed by the choice of Bonn as capital of the Federal Republic in 1949, the city has directed its post-war energies all the more wholeheartedly into its uncontested financial role. The modern skyscrapers of banks and corporations in the central business district are potent symbols of Frankfurt’s economic strength and create a skyline that is more North American than European. Bankfurt or Mainhatten is home to some of the tallest buildings in Europe, including the 300m (984ft) Commerzbank tower, the tallest office block in Europe. These modern behemoths have replaced parts of the old city that were destroyed by Allied bombers at the end of World War II. However, examples of pre-war Frankfurt can still be experienced in the reconstructed buildings on the Römerberg, including the cathedral and the Römer, Frankfurt’s city hall since 1405. Trade has given the city a cosmopolitan, multicultural flair, 45 per cent of the 2.35 million annual visitors to Frankfurt are foreign and 27.6 per cent of the 650,000-strong population are non-German, representing some 169 countries and a variety of religions. Until the Holocaust in the Nazi era, a large and dynamic Jewish community contributed to the city’s success. With the second busiest airport in Europe, after London Heathrow, and a vital junction on the national road and rail network, Frankfurt is a focal point of international transportation and communication. Not only is the city home to the European Central Bank and many other banks but it also commands 6500 industry-related companies and oversees a burgeoning biotechnology industry, as home to the world’s largest chemistry technology trade fair, ACHEMA. The city also accommodates the moguls of the German publishing industry, as well as a number of companies involved in public relations, marketing, media and telecommunications. As Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860) commented in 1843, here, you see and hear what is going on in the world. Most of Frankfurt’s visitors come for one of the numerous trade fairs, exhibitions and congresses. Among the largest on the international circuit are the International Book Fair (Buchmesse Frankfurt) and ACHEMA (chemical engineering, environmental protection and biotechnology). But Frankfurt, has got another side to reveal to its focused business visitors. As the birthplace of Germany’s most revered writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832), the city is at pains to impress with its cultural pedigree. Excellent museums, high-calibre performance groups and local festivals should entice the discerning guest away from the boardroom and the exhibition hall. The city’s climate is generally mild and well balanced with warm, occasionally wet, days during summer, when temperatures sometimes reach 30°C (90°F), and chilly winter days, when temperatures range between - 10°C (14°F) and 10°C (40°F). |
| Hessen South Germany - Germany TravelPuppy Hessen’s capital is the city of Wiesbaden. The northern part of the state, Kurhesse-Waldeck, boasts lakes, forests and state-recognised health resorts. Hessen has many rural villages with half-timbered houses and still-observed ancient customs. The German Fairy Tale Road leads through some of these towns. Schwalmstadt, home of Little Red Riding Hood, is a town where people still wear traditional costumes to church on Sunday and at folk festivals. In the Reinhardswald, Sababurg and now a castle-hotel, inspired the Brothers Grimm to write Sleeping Beauty. The romantic scenery of the Lahn, a tributary of the Rhine, draws many visitors to Nassau, Wetzlar, Limburg and the Schaumburg Castle. Also on this river is the historic university town of Marburg. In the far south of Hessen is the rolling hill country of the Odenwald, a region rich in legend and folklore and excellent for hiking. The Bergstrasse traverses the western slopes. The region has a very mild climate, permitting cultivation of a wide range of flowers and fruit. Two routes are available for exploring the Odenwald, the Nibelungenstrasse and the Siegfriedstrasse. Erbach, which has a Baroque palace and a medieval watchtower, Michelstadt with its half-timbered Town Hall and basilica, the resort of Lindenfels, and the spa town of Bad König, are prime attractions. Northwest of Frankfurt and north of Wiesbaden is the wooded hill country of the Taunus, a ski centre in the winter. Resorts here include the old town of Oberursel, the spa town of Bad Homburg and, nearby, the preserved Roman fort of Saalburg, situated on the line marking the frontier of the Roman Empire. Northeast of Frankfurt is the Baroque town of Fulda, gateway to the Rhön region. Some of the buildings here date back to the 9th century. Further north is Kassel, home of the Grimm Brothers Museum and the Wilhelmshöhe Palace with its magnificent grounds. Darmstadt Darmstadt is located a few miles east of the Rhine. Attractions include the Palace (16th and 17th centuries), Prince George Palace (18th century) with porcelain collection, Hesse Regional Museum, an artists’ colony on Mathildenhöhe,‘Wedding Tower’ and Russian Chapel, National Theatre on the Marienplatz, and Kranichstein Hunting Lodge with hunting museum and hotel. Frankfurt-am-Main The city of Frankfurt-am-Main is Germany’s major financial and commercial centre. Its soaring skyline has led to its nickname of ‘Mainhattan’. Much of the city suffered destruction in 1944, but extensive restoration has preserved many Old Town buildings, including the Römer, town hall and coronation place of German emperors since 1562. Some ancient buildings survived the war, including part of the cathedral and the 13th-century chapel that once adjoined Frederick Barbarossa’s Palace. In the City Museum there is a perfect scale model of the old town and also the astonishing city silver. The stark Paulus Church was home to the first German parliament in 1848. Other attractions in the city include the Zoo, the birthplace of Goethe, the Opera House, the suburbs of Sachsenhausen and Hoechst, both formerly towns in their own right, and the Messe, the exhibition halls complex. The Städel Art Institute houses a large collection of European paintings. The Senckenberg Natural History Museum, Jewish Museum and the Museum of Post and Communication offer more specialised diversion. Wiesbaden Wiesbaden is the capital of the state of Hesse. It is an international spa and congress centre in the Taunus and on the Rhine, the spas specialise in the treatment of rheumatism. Attractions include the Kurhaus and casino, the Wilhelmstrasse, with elegant shops and cafes, Hesse State Theatre, the Greek Chapel, international riding and jumping championships in the grounds of Biebrich Palace at Whitsun; boat trips on the Rhine, and woodland walks. |
