The Hercules crane erected here at the beginning of the 20th century, built in 1887, was originally located further east near St. Leonhard, since the customs port was there. It is reminiscent of the former port facilities in Frankfurt and is the last hand-operated slewing crane on the Frankfurt bank of the Main.

Hiking
The Hercules crane (hand-operated) is reminiscent of the storage areas for goods on this bank here. A track from the western to the eastern harbor has also been preserved. A museum train sometimes runs there. Otherwise, the bank is now a well-received promenade with playgrounds, gardens and sunbathing areas.

The Untermainkai, today a waterfront promenade and park, between Untermainbrücke and Westhafen on the northern bank of the Main is one of the oldest docks in the city of Frankfurt am Main. Until the 19th century, the quay was located on a narrow tributary of the Main, the Little Main, which was filled in 1859. The historic loading crane on the former Nizza shipyard recalls the harbor past.
