    In the middle of Frankfurt, directly on the Römerberg, where once the old town and later the Technical City Hall were, a new quarter, the so-called Dom-Römer-Quartier, was built over a ten-year planning and construction period between 2007 and 2018. In small-scale construction, partly based on historical models, 35 buildings were realized, according to the planners "a diverse neighborhood with apartments, shops and restaurants." The centerpiece is the "coronation path" (the street name is "Markt"), which connects the Romans and the cathedral. The name commemorates the path on which the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire moved to Römerberg after their coronation in the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew.

      Immerse yourself in Frankfurt's new Old Town with its winding alleys and picturesque vistas! 35 houses, including 15 faithful reconstructions and 20 new buildings, form this vibrant new district between the cathedral and the Römer. Around 60 apartments, over 30 shops, restaurants, cafés, and museums offer plenty of space to relax, enjoy, and discover. A walk through Frankfurt's Old Town offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of the Main metropolis: from the first traces of Roman settlement in the Imperial Palace of Franconofurd, to the Gothic ground floor of the "Esslinger" House, the detailed Renaissance façade of the "Goldene Waage" (Golden Scales), and neoclassical buildings such as the "Golden Scissors" on the Hühnermarkt, to the new buildings – within just a few meters, you can discover numerous eras and architectural styles. The successful blend of old and new, of history and present, is what makes this new district in the heart of Frankfurt so appealing.

        Successful reconstruction, which was opened in 2018 and makes the historical coronation path tangible again.
