Here, you will find information about the city of Germany - Frankfurt.

Cathedral

In the heart of the old town, greatly damaged in 1944, but rebuilt. A symbol.

Frankfurt - Cathedral The election of the emperors (from 1356), followed by their coronation (from 1562) took place in this church, which earned it the name of cathedral. It was built between the 13 and 15C on the site of a Carolingian construction.

2. Main article

The west tower was only completed in 1877. Inside, see in particular the choir stalls (1350), the mural paintings (1427), the altar of Mary's sleep (1434) and the Descent of the Cross by Van Dyck (1627).

Stadelsches Kunstinstitut and Stadtische Galerie

A broad panorama of European painting.

Vermeer The 2nd floor houses a major collection of Old Masters: Flemish Primitives (Van Eyck, Memling) and German masters of the 16C (Dürer, Holbein the Younger). Rooms are devoted to Italian painting (early Renaissance and mannerism), and to Flemish and French painting from the 17C (Rubens, Rembrandt, Poussin). The 1st floor, partly devoted to German masters from the 18 and 19C, presents art of the 20C, from expressionism to contemporary works.

Zoo

There are zoos and zoos... this one is worth the trip.

Frankfurt - Zoo Approximately five thousand animals, of six hundred species, live in this zoo which is renowned for its success in reproduction. A large aviary is home to many birds most of which have very colourful plumage. Fish, reptiles, penguins and insects are found in the exotarium. The Grzimek-Haus, which is plunged in darkness during the day, lets you observe animals which hunt at night such as the fennec and tapir. Also spectacular is the hive where you can observe the thousands of bees at work.
