Römer

Römer is an old town hall in Frankfurt. For more than 600 years, the building with a remarkable stepped pediment has been a symbol of the city. The name of the building of the Town Hall was given by the middle of three previously independent buildings, which is called “The House of the Roman.” The origin of the name of the central building remains vague, despite the fact that, on the basis of historical research, many different, often conflicting versions have been put forward. Römer suffered numerous injuries during World War II and was restored in the post-war period. Despite the modern interior of the town hall, Römer is one of the most significant Gothic secular buildings.
