The Große Bockenheimer Straße and the Kalbächer Gasse branching off from it, which connect the Opernplatz with the Rathenauplatz, are popularly known as Freßgass. After the First World War, a colorful variety of grocery stores and delicatessens lined up here - and that hasn't changed much to this day.

Freßgass is the Frankfurt name (official since 1977) for the street Kalbächer Gasse and Große Bockenheimer Straße between Opernplatz and Börsenstraße.
The name came about around 1900 because of the high density of butcher shops, bakeries and delicatessen shops, as well as long-established eateries.
Today, many restaurants, cafes and delicatessens characterize the image of the Freßgass.
The Freßgass is the location of numerous festivals.
