Frankfurt is located on the bank of the Main River. Frankfurt-Mainz-Wiesbaden is called "Frankfurt-Rhine-Main" area. The cities in this area are closely linked in economy, transportation and social activities.

Frankfurt has a very important position in German history. Around A.D., Frankfurt was located at the junction of Roman Empire and Germanic tribes, and not far from its north was the boundary wall of Rome. Frankfurt belongs to the Roman Empire and is the barracks of the Roman garrison. In 794 AD, Charlemagne's trip to Frankfurt was recorded for the first time in history. Frankfurt means the Frank Ferry (furt, meaning ferry). During the period of the Holy Roman Empire, Frankfurt was designated as the place of emperor election for a long time (after 1356). Since 1562, Dom Cathedral in Frankfurt has crowned 10 emperors. From 18 16 to 1866, Frankfurt is the seat of the German Federal Parliament. After World War II, Frankfurt was also in ruins.

Stroll through the old city.

Now let's start our journey to explore the charm of Frankfurt from the railway station.

1.

Rome Square (R? Mer). Take the subway U5 from the railway station in Dom/R? Mer get off (2 stops). Rome Square is the center of Frankfurt. r？ Mer actually refers to a Romanesque building with pink and red conjoined. This is the city hall in Frankfurt, and there is an emperor hall Kaisersaal on the second floor, which was the place where the emperor was elected during the Holy Roman Empire. Portraits of 52 emperors from Charlemagne to Franz Ii are hung on the walls of the hall. The Emperor's Palace can be visited, but it is often temporarily closed for activities and reception of important people.

The gable facade has become a symbol of Frankfurt.

In the center of the square is a statue of the goddess of justice and a fountain with scales and swords. The central fountain was built in 1543. 16 1 1 Here stands the statue of goddess made of sand. 1887 changed to bronze statue. It is said that at the grand banquet of the coronation of the Roman emperor in the Middle Ages, the fountain would spit out wine for people to drink.

Are the buildings in Rome Square preserved from the Middle Ages?

The answer is a little regrettable! Frankfurt, the old downtown, is actually quite new. After World War II, it was rebuilt according to the original design, and 1986 completed the whole square. Many cities in Germany were severely damaged in World War II. Today, many famous scenic spots have been rebuilt. But from the Middle Ages or even earlier, Germany attached great importance to the preservation of architectural design files, so that those bombed buildings could be well restored to their original state. For tourists, this is a blessing.

Tourist buses can be seen everywhere in the old city.

2. Church of Saint Nicholas (Art)

The church next to Nikolaikirche Square is called Saint Nicholas Church, which was built 1290 years ago and is a palace church. The colorful Romanesque buildings opposite the city hall echo the city hall from a distance. Here are several traditional western restaurants, with German food and Italian food.

The cathedral (Dom) is a magnificent Gothic church, standing beside the ruins. This church is also called St. bartholomew's Church (Dom).

St.Bartholomaus, more than 600 years ago, was the place where the coronation ceremony of the holy Roman emperor was held in 1562- 1792. The robes worn by the archbishop at the coronation ceremony are on display in the church museum. The interior of the cathedral is magnificent, and there is a small auditorium (Wahlkapelle) where the emperor is elected when the emperor is elected, and the "golden imperial edict" promulgated by the emperor during the holy Roman Empire is in it.

Former residence of Goethe in Frankfurt

Goethe's father was an adviser to the emperor and his mother was the daughter of the mayor of Frankfurt. Goethe's former residence was a typical scene of upper-class families at that time.

The utensils and furnishings of the kitchen, study, living room, dining room, painting hall, bedroom and other former residences are said to have preserved the scene of the year. People who like Goethe can visit and feel the poet's breath.

There are many Goethe souvenirs for sale at the underground ticket office. Feather pens and ginkgo leaves are exquisite and can be regarded as the most poetic souvenirs in Frankfurt, but they are also very expensive.

Ginkgo biloba leaves are everywhere, but here is the most poetic.

There used to be a ginkgo tree in Goethe's yard. Goethe once wrote a short poem "Ginkgo Bitter Bean". He used this poem and the ginkgo leaves he picked to send a message to his beloved lady Marianne Wilma Marianne.

VonWillemer expressed admiration.

Ginkgo biloba leaves split from the middle, as if two lives were integrated, and Goethe meant "I am both me and you".

In summer, the Frankfurt Museum Embankment Festival attracts many tourists every year and is one of the important festivals in Frankfurt every year.

There are stalls with special commodities, beer, sausages and stage on both sides of the main river, which are very lively. People come here to play like temple fairs on holidays.

Many museums open to this special festival free of charge and extend their opening hours. On the last day of the event, beautiful fireworks will be set off on the main river. It is held in late August every year.

Weihnachtsmarkt in winter: The Christmas market in Frankfurt is very famous. If you come to Frankfurt on Christmas Eve, don't miss it. Most of the businesses here are old businesses that participate every year.

If a new businessman wants to book a booth at the Christmas market in Frankfurt, he often needs to book it two years in advance to get the opportunity. Christmas market is a traditional market in Germany. Visiting the Christmas market on Christmas Eve is a kind of entertainment, and it is especially interesting to find some unique gadgets for friends and relatives as Christmas gifts.

In the snowy winter, about three or five friends who haven't seen each other for a long time get together in the Christmas market, stand in front of the lively cabin in the Christmas market, and have a cup of hot wine that is only available at Christmas, which is the pleasure of many Germans. However, families with children take their children to the Christmas market, which is no different from China people visiting temple fairs during the Spring Festival.

Frankfurt Green Juice Festival (GrüneSo? e

Festival) is held every May. The "Green Juice Festival" will select the best "Frankfurt Green Juice" from the cooking competitions of 49 restaurants. Like China's "Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar" and "Fuling mustard tuber", Frankfurt green juice is also a geographical origin product that Frankfurt people are proud of. Frankfurt people are angry that similar products in Berlin and other places use this name. They think that the raw materials and tastes of green juice produced in Berlin and other places are different and cannot be called "Frankfurt green juice".

Taste potatoes dipped in green juice at the Green Juice Festival

The traditional Frankfurt green juice is a mixture of seven special herbs, including borage, cress, parsley, fennel, Rumex, radish and chives. The dosage of each ingredient is very particular, and 70% of herbs must be produced in Frankfurt.

"Frankfurt green juice with potato and beef" was praised by Goethe and became a famous classic Frankfurt dish.

These vanilla plants needed to make green juice can only be collected in spring. There is no bottled green juice for sale at the Green Juice Festival.

However, there are plant raw materials for making green juice for sale, and Frankfurt Palm Park also presents these plants collected by them in flower pots to people who like them at the Green Juice Festival.

I won't know until I ask. The original green juice must be eaten fresh! So Frankfurt people prefer to take herbs home and make their own green juice.
