List of cultural monuments in downtown Frankfurt

 Map with all coordinates: OSM | WikiMap

In the list of cultural monuments in Frankfurt city center , all cultural monuments within the meaning of the Hessian Monument Protection Act in Frankfurt city center , a district of Frankfurt am Main, are listed.

The basis is the monument topography from 1994, which was last supplemented in 2000 by a supplementary volume. In addition, the 2008 edition of the Handbook of German Art Monuments for the Darmstadt administrative region and the Fachwerk in Frankfurt am Main published in 1979 are used, provided that more current or additional information is available there. The names of architects, builders and artists that are mostly abbreviated in the monument topography have, as far as possible, been resolved according to the literature listed under the section Works on Architects and Artists .

introduction

Suburb of the Staufer Frankfurt

Frankfurt am Main , which grew into a city under the Hohenstaufen rulers - roughly congruent with the present-day district of Frankfurt-Altstadt - was fortified for the first time by the end of the 12th century at the latest with the partially preserved Staufen wall with a dry moat in front. A number of city gates, the most important of which were the Bornheimer Pforte at the end of the Fahrgasse and the Katharinenpforte at the exit of the street that still bears the same name today, led to country roads into the rest of the empire, which were also given almost unchanged names.

From the 13th century, the city grew rapidly in the course of its economic success and increasing political independence, the building site within the older walls was fully used by the middle of the 14th century at the latest, as the topography of Baldemar von Petterweil shows. In 1333, Emperor Ludwig IV granted a privilege to officially found a new town, which should almost triple the previous urban area and move up to the inner boundary of today's ramparts . The construction of the fortifications for the new part of town dragged on for almost 150 years until the end of the 15th century. The densification of the created settlement area took much longer.

Frankfurt 1552 - a little more than 200 years after the establishment of the Neustadt, it is still clearly delimited from the old town on this oldest topographical representation of the urban area by the half-sickle-shaped Staufen wall and is visibly thin and mostly built on two floors

In contrast to that of the old town in the 14th century, documentary records about the new town are still very sparse and only slowly gain in breadth in the 15th century. Accordingly, the oldest layer of the building is likely to have been simple and insignificant. A first picture can be obtained from the cityscapes of the 16th and early 17th centuries. They show a building developed along five main streets, in turn on the gates to the country roads, which radiate from square-like protuberances at the end of today's Zeil , where the aforementioned older city gates of the Staufer city were.

Also based on the deviating floor plan, it can be assumed that the new town, in contrast to large parts of the old town, was not developed according to plan, but that its official foundation and fortification had the character of the connection and military protection of an already existing suburb. New, initially non-existent cross alleys subsequently emerged more from local needs or opportunities. On the other hand, the cattle market held between the two main gates of the Stauferstadt - the later Zeil - and a horse market to the west, today's Roßmarkt, are occupied early .

In terms of dimensions, the buildings were, according to the early graphic views, still predominantly small-scale two to three centuries after the official city expansion and, in addition to small half-timbered houses, dominated by gardens, farms with farms, barns and garden houses. With the houses at Alte Gasse 24 , Große Bockenheimer Straße 31 , Kleine Bockenheimer Straße 10/12 and Rosenbergerstraße 4 , only five town houses of different styles are preserved today, which give an idea of ​​the structural character that shaped the new district for centuries.

In addition to a petty bourgeois population, similar to Sachsenhausen, who predominantly worked in agriculture, there were also some wealthy patricians and merchants who moved their homes to the Neustadt. They built several cream yards there for the growing cloth production, which in principle took up large areas. In addition, towards the end of the Middle Ages, in the course of the commercialization of accommodation and the growing importance of Frankfurt as a trading and trade fair city, more generously dimensioned inns and hotels appeared, especially on the main roads. The only surviving example of this type is the house at Große Friedberger Straße 32 , which, however, only represents the remnants of a courtyard complex that is far more extensive in depth.

Up until the early 15th century, the Neustadt did not have any independent sacred buildings, apart from almost half a dozen chapels. Only then did St.Peter's Church emerge from one of these as a branch church of the cathedral . Late in 1678–81, directly on the border between the old and new towns, the Katharinenkirche was the first Protestant church in the town planned as such . No wall remains of the medieval fortifications, but as an example of one of the most representative fortifications in the city, the late Gothic Eschenheim tower has been preserved in almost the same condition as it was in the time of construction.

Change in the Early Modern Age

After the Reformation spread across Europe , it was mainly Dutch religious refugees who flocked to the Protestant and tolerant free imperial city . In addition to significant cultural and economic changes, this also resulted in significant population growth. Since there has hardly been any space for new construction projects in the old town for centuries, or the prices for such projects exploded there in the course of the population increase, the new town in particular was densified.

Frankfurt am Main on the last edition of Matthäus Merian's first published in 1628 from around 1770 shows, despite some inaccuracies in numerous addenda, especially around the Zeil, the growing importance of the Neustadt

In the course of the extensive abandonment of the old Hohenstaufen city wall and the backfilling of its moat, the Zeil was also built on the south side at the end of the 16th century . To the east and west, the Grabenstraßen , some of which are still in existence today, were built , the most famous of which is probably the Große Hirschgraben , where the Goethe House was to be built in the 18th century by converting two houses from that period . Its two cellars date from the time the street was built.

This also ended the almost 300-year-old separation between the old and new town, as the inner city gates had been locked every evening in the same way as the outer one. In the 17th century, the old town between the cathedral and the Römer remained the cultural and economic center of the city. Structurally, in the course of the Thirty Years' War , this period brought the Neustadt to the expansion of the medieval city wall into a bastion-style star hill fortress - never used militarily - which was no less than the largest construction company of this era.

It was not until the 18th century that urban life began to gradually shift towards Neustadt. This was characterized by an accumulation of palatial inns and hotels, but also residential buildings such as the Darmstädter Hof (1741–57) of the Counts of Hesse-Darmstadt , especially on the Zeil or, in the case of the Palais Thurn and Taxis (1731-39), on the Great Eschenheimer Strasse . At the beginning and the exit of the main traffic axis of the New Town, guard buildings were built that still shape the name of the squares there today - the Hauptwache (1729/30) and the Konstablerwache (1753, demolished in 1886). In 1784, the change in the Zeil was legally completed with the official end of the cattle markets.

From the 1790s later, east of the old town, the Fischerfeldviertel was not only the first city expansion since 1333, but also the first academically based on the ideals of French classicism on the drawing board and explicitly intended only for residential purposes. Of this quarter, Schützenstrasse 1, only one residential building and the Old City Library as a public building survived, the rest perished in the Second World War and the following years. However, some buildings in the district still contain parts of the previous buildings in their basement and ground floor.

Departure into the modern age

In the 19th century the fortification was followed by the establishment of the ramparts and the building on both sides of the flanking ramparts , i.e. the formerly only widened Zwinger . Until 1944, the most important ensemble of classicist architecture in Frankfurt am Main was located there, apart from the Fischerfeldviertel . Already in anticipation of the future qualitative east-west divide in the development, a number of spacious villas for the wealthiest class were built along Neue Mainzer Strasse in the west according to the plans of the most renowned architects of their time. Apartment houses found.

The Zeil in Biedermeier (1845) ...

Just like these have almost completely disappeared - albeit in many cases already due to the subsequent building activity of historicism - the public buildings of this era such as numerous schools, the first building of the Städel on Neue Mainzer Strasse or the orphanage on Seilerstrasse . The Hospital of the Holy Spirit on Langen Strasse and the former Bethmann'sche Museum in Friedberger Anlage , better known today as Odeon , are still there, albeit heavily modified .

From the middle of the century, the age of the large road openings began, which were intended to give the Neustadt the structure it is today. It all began in 1855 with the breakthrough on Liebfrauenstrasse ; followed in 1860/61 by Junghofstrasse and Alter Rothofstrasse ; 1872/73 the large-scale project of the “star” from Bethmann- , Friedens- , Kaiser- and Kirchnerstraße to connect the then new station district to the city center; 1875-1890 the stock exchange , Rahmhof- and Schillerstrasse ; 1881 the extension of the Zeil as "Neue Zeil" to the Friedberger Tor ; In 1893, Klingerstrasse and Stoltzestrasse were the spur streets of Battonnstrasse , which had been laid out in 1887, and Goethestrasse, and in 1898 the widening of Stiftstrasse to the west .

Overview plan of road openings and widenings 1855–1910

These measures were carried out based on the Parisian model with little consideration for existing structures, especially since the new town, in contrast to the old town, had a relatively small number of streets or very large building blocks with extensive structures, mostly built as framed courtyards, only accessible through passageways and backyards. These still live in street names like z. B. Junghhof- , Rahmhof- or Rothofstraße . The new street lines were rebuilt with representative architecture in line with contemporary tastes, which, however, was in the rather restrained late classicist tradition until around 1875.

... and around the turn of the century (1898).

Significant monumental buildings of this period were the Alte Oper (1873–80), the Neue Börse (1874–79), the courthouses A and B (1884–89 / 1913–17) and the theater (1899–1902, 1962 largely destroyed by renovations) ), which could be considered the most important building of the Art Nouveau , which is rarely represented in the city . Under the influence of other technical innovations such as the introduction of electric street lighting and trams and, last but not least, an unprecedented increase in population, the Neustadt , which was still early modern around 1865, grew into a modern metropolis within a few decades.

With the neo-baroque main post office on the Zeil (1890/91), shortly before the turn of the century, a second building boom, now finally broken away from the previous local building tradition, began. This changed the area around Roßmarkt , Hauptwache and Zeil again completely by 1914 and clearly defined it in terms of scale as the center of the city at that time. Almost all of the large buildings of late baroque and classicism that remained there , some of which were among the main works of these styles in the city, fell victim to this period despite the first voices of monument preservation .

Apart from the main streets, which were already important in earlier times, a number of pre-prehistoric, especially classicist, but in many places also significantly older architecture remained preserved until the Second World War . Similar to what can be seen today in Paris away from the big boulevards , there were still entire streets with early modern, mostly bourgeois half-timbered houses in narrow streets such as Kleine Eschenheimer Straße , a connecting street between Großer Eschenheimer Straße and Stiftstraße , but especially in the northeast and east of the city center . The quarter in the area of Alte Gasse is only partially preserved in such a structure .

Between and after the war

The building activity of the imperial era , which unfolded outwardly, ended, as everywhere, with the outbreak of the First World War . The inter-war period brought little architectural change to the inner city due to the precarious economic situation; only on the Zeil were the first commercial buildings in the New Objectivity style from the end of the 1920s .

The Second World War put a similar turning point for the city is as for the almost completely in the air raids on Frankfurt destroyed, Gothic Old Town . Although there was no extensive firestorm , in May 1945 practically every commercial building was badly damaged, at least in the roof area, with the exception of the few modern reinforced concrete buildings, and almost all of the half-timbered houses from the early modern period up to classicism were destroyed. The area around Große Bockenheimer Straße , Kaiserplatz , the theater , the court district in the northeast and the beginning of Battonnstraße were less affected . Lost as an ensemble, but significantly more than half of it was still there, the classicist development of the ramparts .

Junior house from 1951 on the corner of Kaiserstrasse and Friedensstrasse

The reconstruction and redevelopment of Frankfurt am Main , especially in the early post-war years with the conviction to become the federal capital and to make the city “traffic-friendly”, continued the destruction of the war from a monument conservation point of view. Due to the rapid economic upturn after 1950, the execution hardly went according to an overall plan.

One such in the sense of new escape lines is most likely in the mostly unilateral withdrawal of historical street alignments such as on the Zeil, the Große Eschenheimer Straße or the Große Bockenheimer Straße as well as the expansion of places like An der Hauptwache , the Konstablerwache or the Eschenheimer Tor to traffic junctions to recognize. As in the old town, the most radical break was the breakthrough of Konrad-Adenauer-Straße as a north-south axis in the extension of the newly created Kurt-Schumacher-Straße to the Main.

In the above-mentioned dismantling of street lines and the construction of new streets, the existing structures of old buildings were often sacrificed; This weighed particularly heavily in the case of Konrad-Adenauer-Strasse, which was drawn over a very slightly damaged part of the city center. Also, the majority of reconstructive quite capable buildings where the late 1940s they had already set up, quickly gave way to complete new buildings in the style of the time. Where old buildings have been preserved, the once differentiated roof landscape has been replaced by temporary roofs and stacked storeys, most of which still exist today and impair the proportionality of this architecture.

Due to the city's role as the location of numerous important banks, insurance companies and similar institutions, in addition to numerous quickly erected, mostly faceless functional buildings, especially in the inner city area, some important examples of post-war architecture, which are also outstanding in terms of quality on a national level, are examples of this Junior-Haus (1951), the Bayer-Hochhaus (1953), the Rundschau-Haus (1954, demolished in 2005) or the Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank (1954–56) should be mentioned.

As in the old town, with the exception of the reconstructed Goethe House , historical buildings received little attention. Only the badly damaged Katharinenkirche was rebuilt relatively soon, the Peterskirche stood - as an example of the contemporary assessment of a building of historicism - as a ruin until the 1960s, the almost completely destroyed French Reformed church on Goetheplatz gave way to a building that was demolished in 2012 Office and commercial buildings. The new stock exchange and the former Hauptwache building were quickly rebuilt from the public buildings , while the heavily damaged but rebuildable Palais Thurn und Taxis was abandoned in favor of the telecommunications tower that was built in its place, except for the portal buildings.

1960s to the present

The demolition of old buildings reached a climax in the 1960s. A drastic example is Biebergasse 10 , a timber-framed building from the 17th century with a metropolitan dimension, which gave way to the commercial building that still exists today in 1965. But buildings were mostly affected the classicism and especially the despised historicism whose stocks especially along the Wall Street until the entry into force of the Monument Protection Act the mid-1970s have been decimated over the existence of the direct post-war period by a further 50 percent.

At the same time, with the construction of the subway, another change began, which gave the An der Hauptwache and Konstablerwache , in particular, their present face. Many streets that were dedicated to traffic routes after the war, such as the Große Bockenheimer Straße or the Zeil , were converted into pedestrian zones in order to promote public transport . At the same time, a banking district with a large number of high-rise buildings, which are among the tallest in Europe, was built in the southwest of the city center around Neue Mainzer Straße, modeled on American central business districts . Unique for a German city, they form a clearly visible and unmistakable skyline .

At the beginning of the 21st century, the trend towards a further vertical densification of the inner city through projects such as the PalaisQuartier , the Skylight or the Taunusturm, which is currently under construction, is unbroken. In addition, as with the Dom-Römer project, restorative tendencies can be observed in the old town , which have been expressed in recent years, for example, in the external reconstruction of the Old City Library or the Palais Thurn und Taxis . Under the impression that a large part of the remaining architecture from the time before the Second World War is under monument protection, the rapidly increasing demolition of architecture from the 1950s in favor of new office and commercial buildings can currently be observed.

In addition to churches and public buildings, the majority of today's historic buildings in the city center are mainly residential and commercial buildings between around 1820 and the First World War. Although they are seldom preserved in ensembles, there are still enough examples to give an insight into the site-specific to maintain structural development during this period. They are complemented by a group of buildings from the 1950s, which are mostly built as commercial buildings, which are completely contrasting in style, but also outstanding in terms of quality.

A third large ensemble is a variety of mostly after World War translocated well as evidence of the former civic life in old and new, as well as monuments and sculptures mostly of Wall plants mainly historicism, but partly also the classicism Act.
