Historical, commercial, international Frankfurt, gateway to Germany, city of contrasts & capital that never was. Goethe’s birthplace and centre of culture, home also to banking, the stock exchange and a 21st century skyline, it is Europe’s ‘Mainhatten’. In 1949, Frankfurt lost out to Bonn in the race to become the capital of West Germany. But this did nothing to halt the city's rapid development into an international economic metropolis. With over 400 banks (including the headquarters of the German Bundesbank and the European Central Bank) and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, Frankfurt has become one of the world's most important financial centres. |
