Römerberg Germany Postcard

Römerberg is the historic heart of Frankfurt am Main, a bustling mediaeval square that serves as a vibrant contrast to the city's modern skyscrapers. It is home to the 'Römer', an iconic complex of half-timbered buildings that has served as the city hall for over 600 years, and the beautifully restored old houses of the 'Ostzeile'. The square has been the site of imperial coronations, historic markets, and festive celebrations throughout centuries. Today, Römerberg remains a central destination for both locals and tourists, especially during its famous Christmas market. Visitors can admire the charming architecture, visit the historical museum, or simply enjoy the lively atmosphere of this reconstructed gem, which was meticulously rebuilt after being destroyed during World War II, preserving the rich architectural heritage of Hesse.
