Römerberg
Dating back to the Middle Ages, the square was once the site of fairs, tournaments, and the coronation festivities of Holy Roman Emperors, making it one of the most important public spaces in Germany. Its name derives from the Römer, Frankfurt’s city hall since 1405, whose Gothic stepped gables still dominate the western side of the square. The eastern row of half-timbered houses, known as the Ostzeile, was destroyed during World War II but meticulously reconstructed in the 1980s, restoring the square’s medieval charm. At its center stands the Fountain of Justice, first erected in 1543, symbolizing fairness and civic pride. Today, Römerberg is both a cultural landmark and a lively gathering place, hosting the city’s famous Christmas market, festivals, and public celebrations. Surrounded by museums, churches, and historic buildings, it remains a vibrant stage where Frankfurt’s past and present meet, offering visitors a vivid sense of the city’s enduring identity.
Frankfurt am Main GermanyRömerberg is located in the historic center of Frankfurt am Main, serving as the heart of the medieval Altstadt (old town). This iconic square is renowned for its picturesque half-timbered houses and the Römer building complex, which has been Frankfurt’s city hall for over 600 years. The square has hosted numerous imperial coronations, trade fairs, and the famous Frankfurt Christmas Market, making it a vibrant cultural hub. Nearby landmarks include the Frankfurt Cathedral (Kaiserdom St. Bartholomäus), the Old St Nicholas Church, the Historical Museum, and the scenic promenade along the River Main called Mainkai. Adjacent to the square is the Dom-Römer Project, a reconstruction of the city’s historic core, blending medieval charm with modern architecture. Römerberg is also easily reachable via public transport and borders the lively Zeil shopping district, offering a rich blend of history, culture, and urban life.
