Ikonen-Museum der Stadt Frankfurt
The Ikonen-Museum der Stadt Frankfurt am Main is a remarkable institution dedicated to the art and spirituality of Eastern Christianity. Located in the former refectory of the Teutonic Order Monastery on Brückenstraße, it houses one of the most significant collections of Orthodox icons in Western Europe. The museum was founded in 1990, based on the donation of more than 800 icons by Dr. Jörgen Schmidt-Voigt, and has since grown to include over 1,000 works through acquisitions and loans. Its displays present a wide range of sacred imagery from Russia, Greece, Romania, Egypt, Syria, and Ethiopia, spanning the 16th to 19th centuries. Highlights include intricately painted wooden panels, metal icons, liturgical objects, and the unique Ethiopia Cabinet, which showcases rare manuscripts, crosses, and colorful icons from the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition—the only permanent exhibition of its kind in Germany. Following a major redesign in 2021, the museum offers a modern presentation that enhances the contemplative power of these devotional works while providing historical and cultural context. By combining scholarship with an atmosphere of quiet reverence, the Ikonen-Museum invites visitors to explore the diversity and depth of Orthodox Christian visual culture within the heart of Frankfurt’s Museumsufer.
Frankfurt am Main GermanyThe Ikonen-Museum der Stadt Frankfurt am Main is located at Brückenstraße 3-7 in the Sachsenhausen-Nord district, on the eastern periphery of the Museumsufer (Museum Embankment) along the River Main.
