History in Frankfurt

Frankfurt am Main's history unfolds across a remarkably varied set of places. Medieval fortifications such as the Berger Warte and the Altkönig sit alongside baroque townhouses like the Bassenheimer Hof. The Augustinerkirche and Berger Kirche reflect centuries of religious life, a thread that continues with the Bait ul-Ghafur Mosque today. A Prussian Berliner Meilenstein marks old road networks, while the former broadcasting station Heiligenstock speaks to more recent technological history. Nearby landmarks including Bad Homburger Schloss, Biebrich Palace, the Bessunger Orangerie and the Bleibeskopf extend the story well beyond the city's immediate boundaries.
