Église Saint-Paul

La spectaculaire façade en grès de l’église Saint-Paul est à la fois un monument et une anomalie unique à Francfort. Paulskirche est devenue célèbre non pas en tant qu’église, mais en tant que lieu de rencontre. Bâtie pour remplacer l’ancienne Barfüßerkirche, elle ouvrit ses portes en 1833. C’est là que siégea le premier parlement allemand élu librement en 1848, organisant 99 réunions et adoptant 59 articles qui font encore partie de la constitution allemande à ce jour. Détruite lors d’une attaque aérienne en 1944, l’église fut reconstruite immédiatement après la Seconde guerre mondiale en tant que mémorial de l’après-guerre. Malgré sa simplicité, elle accueille désormais des événements importants comme la cérémonie annuelle de remise des Prix pour la paix allemands ainsi que les Prix Goethe de la ville de Francfort.

Paulsplatz 11, Francfort-sur-le-Main, Allemagne, 60311
Römer

Frankfurt Town Hall, as it stands today, is made up of a melee of different buildings. The first buildings to be constructed here were the Zum Römer House and the next-door guest-house, Goldener Schwan in 1405. At the beginning of the 20th Century, two building complexes (north and south) were erected next to Paulsplatz and were joined by a bridge. Designed in a Renaissance and Baroque architectural style, these buildings fit in well with the earlier buildings. They are decorated with reliefs depicting local events, such as the harvesting of cider apples. One particular draw is the exquisitely decorated Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall) in the Rathaus (city hall). The Rathaus is the seat of the Mayor of Frankfurt.

Goethe-Haus

Maison qui vit naître Goethe le 28 août 1749, il s’agit d’un bel exemple de la façon dont vivaient les familles aisées pendant la période baroque tardive. En 1733, la famille de Goethe fit l’acquisition de deux maisons à colombages voisines sur la route Großen Hirschgraben. La famille vendit la propriété en 1795, époque à laquelle Goethe s’était déjà installé à Weimar. Cela vaut également la peine de visiter le musée Goethe attenant, qui a été rénové et abrite une bibliothèque et une librairie. La maison elle-même est une reconstruction de l’originale qui fut détruite pendant la Seconde guerre mondiale.

Karmeliterkloster

Built between 1460 and 1520, this historic monastery is worth a visit for its architecture alone. Yet there is much more to see than just thick brick walls. The refectory is considered to be one of the most beautiful Renaissance-period buildings in the city, and Joerg Ratgeb's frescos in the hallway rank among the most important wall-paintings in the whole of Europe. After the last monks (of the Karmeliter Order) left the monastery in 1803, it was turned into a military barracks. Nowadays, Karmeliterkloster is home to the Museum of Early History, the Institute of Urban History and a public art gallery.

Museum für Moderne Kunst

Designed by Hans Hollein, the Museum für Moderne Kunst (Museum of Modern Art) is among the most important in Frankfurt and is known to locals as Das Tortenstück ("the slice of cake") due to its triangular shape. The unconventional yet elegantly designed building reflects the style of contemporary art and enriches Frankfurt's architectural landscape. The focal point is a naturally-lit, glass-vaulted hall covering two floors, from which staircases lead to the exhibition's upper floors. The nucleus of the collection comes from Darmstadt industrialist Karl Ströher and includes works by American artists such as Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Exhibits are rotated biannually and often include works and projects by new artists. A glass-fronted cafeteria is located on the ground floor.

Cathédrale Saint-Barthélemy de Francfort

S’élevant majestueusement près du Main, la cathédrale impériale Saint-Barthélemy est l’un des monuments les plus riches en histoires de la ville. Sa façade rousse de style gothique est devenue une partie intégrante du spectaculaire horizon de Francfort. Remontant au VIIe siècle av. J.-C, cette église est empreinte de chapitres royaux d’histoire romaine. Lieu de couronnement des empereurs romains de 1562 à 1792, elle a été reconstruite dans les années 1970 après avoir subi les ravages de la Seconde guerre mondiale. Abritant plusieurs reliques et possessions prisées, la sculpture de Hans Backoffen représentant la crucifixion du Christ est un chef-d’œuvre appartenant au début de la Renaissance. Tandis que son statut d’église royale déclina après la chute de l’empire romain, elle est devenue un symbole d’intégrité nationale après le XIXe siècle.

Frankfurt Stock Exchange

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FSE) is the world's third largest market for stocks, shares and foreign currencies. With a turnover of 75% of all shares traded, it is also the largest stock exchange in Germany. As long ago as the 16th Century, several traders made a pact to establish exchange rates for the various currencies coming into the city during trade fairs. This was the forerunner of the FSE. The stock exchange building, a tribute to the High Renaissance style, stems from 1879 when it replaced the old building next to Paulskirche. Visitors can watch the traders in action from a balcony above the trading floor: a fascinating spectacle. A large screen shows the movements of the DAX (the German share index), while individual share prices can be seen on monitors.

Main Tower

Devant son nom au célèbre fleuve Main, la Main Tower est une magnifique structure architecturale de 56 étages qui est également l’un des bâtiments les plus importants du quartier d’Innenstadt. À travers sa spectaculaire façade en verre bleue, la tour reflète les rues animées et la vie urbaine de Francfort. Les deux tours jointes sont collectivement considérées comme l’une des structures les plus hautes d’Allemagne. Elle abrite les bureaux allemands de la célèbre agence Standard & Poor's, de la banque Merrill Lynch, du studio de télévision de la Hessischer Rundfunk et beaucoup d’autres. Le Main Tower Restaurant & Bar, situé au 53e étage, sert une cuisine euro-asiatique éclectique très appréciée par ses clients.

Frankfurt Opera

Opera is a burning issue in Frankfurt in more ways than one. Outsiders tend to associate it with the Alte Oper or the Opernbühne, but both were completely destroyed in the World War II. A new building was opened in 1951 but burned to the ground in 1987, being reopened some four years later. The stucco sculpting on the ceiling of the foyer is of particular architectural interest. The works of the six operatic stalwarts are staged here more than anything else, though they also alternate with more recent composers. Instead of a permanent program, the Oper Frankfurt currently employs a staggione system, staging performances in groups. The reputation of the opera house used to be a cut above the rest, but is on the wane as a result of internal disputes, despite some spectacular productions.

German Architecture Museum

The German Architecture Museum is housed within a gorgeous 18th century villa. The concept of the museum is mirrored in the unusual design of the building which is a house within a house. There are exhibits that are spread over various levels of the museum. Visitors can view the amazing collection of the ancient and recent building plans, models and structures. The exhibits at this museum keep rotating. The museum is a great place for students who are learning architecture since there is a plethora of architectural drawings and models that can be viewed. The museum also organizes several events, programs and lectures.

Alte Oper

L’Alte Oper, ou vieil opéra, est aussi magnifique et imposant que lorsqu’il fut ouvert par le roi Guillaume Ier en 1880. Sa construction fut financée par de riches citoyens de Francfort et imaginée par Richard Lucae dans un style de Renaissance italienne. Détruit lors d’une attaque aérienne en 1944, il fut par la suite reconstruit et rebaptisé « Ancien opéra et centre de conférence ». Le principal auditorium (Grosser Saal), qui peut accueillir environ 2 500 personnes, constitue la partie centrale du bâtiment et accueille des concerts et performances musicales. Les salles plus petites peuvent être louées pour organiser des fêtes, des conférences, des événements professionnels, des réceptions, des lancements de produits, etc. Des rafraîchissements sont disponibles dans le café, le restaurant ou le bistro.

Städel Museum

The Städel Museum holds a number of art exhibitions every week. You can find exquisite art exhibitions featuring old masters like Caravaggio, Michelangelo as well as contemporary regional artists. The permanent collection includes works by the likes of Renoir, Botticelli, Rembrandt, extending from the medieval age to the contemporary era. Admire the numerous sculptures, art installations and photography collections on display as you explore themes like nature, history, religion, violence and love. The museum also houses a bookshop, a café and a library. Various seminars, events and workshops are organized throughout the year. Guided tours are available.
