EDITORS COMMENTS
Frankfurt am Main's Romerberg Square: A Glimpse into the Past and the Present This evocative photograph captures the enchanting allure of Frankfurt am Main's Romerberg Square, with Haus Frauenstein (left) and Salzhaus (right) standing proudly amidst the picturesque scene. The image, estimated to have been taken around 1905, showcases the original buildings in their full splendor before they were destroyed during World War II. Haus Frauenstein, with its intricate carvings and decorative facade, was once a symbol of the city's rich history and architectural prowess. Its name, meaning 'Women's House,' is believed to have originated from the fact that it was once the residence of the city's female rulers. The Salzhaus, or 'Salt House,' was a significant commercial building that housed the city's salt merchants. The buildings' intricate designs, featuring ornate carvings and ornamental details, are a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Frankfurt am Main. The original structures, with their lavish architectural styles, were a source of pride for the city and its people. Tragically, these beautiful buildings were reduced to rubble during the bombing raids of World War II. However, in the spirit of preserving history and tradition, the city undertook a massive reconstruction project in the late 20th century. While the new buildings on Romerberg Square may not replicate the exact architectural styles of the originals, they serve as a poignant reminder of Frankfurt am Main's past and its resilience in the face of adversity. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the city's history and the enduring power of architecture to evoke a sense of nostalgia and wonder. It invites us to appreciate the beauty of the past while acknowledging the importance of preserving it for future generations.
