The center of historic Frankfurt has slowly recovered from the destruction of the Second World War, is well worth seeing and a must-see when in Frankfurt.

The Römerberg is the town hall square of Frankfurt am Main and has been the center of the old town since the High Middle Ages. The name comes from the house Zum Römer, which has been Frankfurt's town hall since the 15th century. Since then, the square has been the location of numerous events, for example the coronations of emperors, the Frankfurt trade fairs, the Frankfurt Christmas market and after the European Foot and World Cup championships for the presentation of trophies from the balcony of the Römer.
The eastern part of the Römerberg is also called the Saturday mountain. At least since the reconstruction of the historic half-timbered houses on the east side of the square at the beginning of the 1980s, the Römerberg has been a popular destination for Frankfurt residents and tourists.

Many are amazed that the houses opposite the Römer have so many windows. Well, the reason for this was financial interests because:
At the coronation of the emperor, many people wanted to cheer the new emperor when he showed himself to the people on the Roman balcony. The window seats were then always in great demand and were rented out by the owners for a lot of money.

The Justice Fountain (also Justitiabrunnen) is a fountain on the Römerberg in Frankfurt am Main and one of the city's landmarks. It goes back to a previous building from 1543 on the same site and was created in its present form in 1611. During the time of the Holy Roman Empire, it played a special, albeit short-lived, role as a wine fountain for the emperor and then also for the people during the coronation ceremonies. The fountain currently on view is a largely accurate copy from 1887, financed by the Frankfurt wine merchant Gustav D. Manskopf. It is under monument protection.

Late Gothic sacred building, which particularly shapes the Römerberg with its slender tower. After the 2nd World War it also became the home of the Evangelical Paulskirchengemeinde. The Paulskirche itself was rebuilt due to its special importance as the cradle of German democracy as an exhibition and event venue and the smaller parish turned to the old Nikolaikirche.

The late Gothic Alte Nikolaikirche is a Protestant church in the old town of Frankfurt am Main. Its namesake is Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of fishermen. It is located near the Main on the Römerberg and is known beyond Frankfurt as part of a characteristic ensemble. The building, founded in the middle of the 12th century as a court chapel, dates from the 15th century in its current appearance and, as one of the eight endowment churches in Frankfurt, has been used as a place of worship by the Evangelical Pauls Congregation since 1949.
