The Eschenheimer Turm (Eschenheim Tower) in Frankfurt, built in the early 15th century, served as a gate in the city's late-medieval fortifications. Today it is a landmark of the city.
The Goethe House at 23 Grosser Hirschgraben in the old town of Frankfurt was the residence of the Goethe family until 1795. The family's most notable personality, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, was born there in 1749, lived there till the age of 16, and returned sporadically throughout his life. The house stands next to the Goethe Museum (on the right).
The Eurotower (on the left) and Commerzbank Tower in the bankenviertel (financial district) of Frankfurt. The skyscapers were constructed 20 years apart, 1977 and 1997, respectively.
The Operturm (Opera Tower) in Frankfurt was opened in 2010 and is named after the Alte Oper (Old Opera House) that it faces, a corner of which may be glimpsed in the very center of the photo.
