Description

Frankfurt blends centuries of history, iconic architecture, and unique culinary traditions with its modern role as Germany's financial hub.
Frankfurt, a city with roots stretching back to the Roman era, has long been a center of commerce and culture in Germany. The city's location on the Main River made it a trading hub, earning it the nickname "Mainhattan" for its blend of charm and modern skyline. Frankfurt's history is deeply intertwined with the Holy Roman Empire, and its importance in European affairs continued through the centuries, culminating in its role as the seat of Germany's first democratically elected parliament in 1848 at St. Paul's Church. This pivotal moment in German history marks Frankfurt's significance in the nation's journey towards democracy.
The culinary traditions of Frankfurt reflect its rich cultural heritage and agricultural surroundings. The city's signature drink, "Ebbelwei" (apple wine), dates back to the 16th century when it was first produced in local monasteries. This tart beverage remains a beloved staple of Frankfurt's gastronomy. Traditional dishes like "Handkäs mit Musik" (a sour milk cheese served with onions) and "Grüne Soße" (a herb-based sauce) showcase the region's agricultural bounty and culinary ingenuity. The world-famous "Frankfurter" sausage, first mentioned in the 13th century, exemplifies the city's longstanding tradition of meat production and preservation. These culinary traditions, along with the convivial atmosphere of apple wine taverns, offer visitors a view of Frankfurt's enduring cultural identity amidst its modern, cosmopolitan facade.
