Frankfurt

Few cities in Hesse have a history as closely tied to trade and finance as Frankfurt. Set on the River Main, Germany’s leading financial centre combines a high-rise banking district with an old-town core rebuilt around the Römer, the city hall complex long associated with imperial elections and coronations. St Paul’s Church is a defining civic landmark: in 1848 it hosted the Frankfurt Parliament, the first freely elected parliament for all of Germany. Frankfurt’s trade-fair tradition remains central to its international role, while museums line the Main’s south bank.
