The Frankfurter Rome is the name of Frankfurt’s city hall, and the beautiful building in which it is housed has been inspiring awe throughout the city since its construction 600 years ago, in 1405. The Römer’s most famous façade is on its eastern side facing the Old St. Nicholas Church across a large pedestrian square in the city’s Altstadt, or Old Town. The grandeur of the structure comes from the fact that it was the property of a wealthy merchant family before becoming an administrative municipal building. The inside still fulfills this function, so unfortunately, the Römer’s beautiful interiors are not on display as a museum. Still, nearly all who come to the city rush to see this iconic piece of Frankfurt history.
