List of cultural monuments in Frankfurt-Ostend

Map with all coordinates: OSM | WikiMap

The list of cultural monuments in Frankfurt-Ostend lists all cultural monuments within the meaning of the Hessian Monument Protection Act in Frankfurt-Ostend , a district of Frankfurt am Main .

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 is 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 .
