Frankfurt is a city of "Kaisers and Capital," where the timber-framed Römerberg square stands in the shadow of Europe’s gleaming financial towers. Its historical core is anchored by the Imperial Cathedral (Kaiserdom), the 14th-century Gothic site where Holy Roman Emperors were once crowned. From the birthplace of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to the Paulskirche, the cradle of German democracy, the city preserves a deep legacy of trade, intellect, and political transformation along the banks of the Main.
