Known to the locals as the Kaiserdom (coronations used to take place here), this very Gothic-style cathedral still dominates the skyline from certain angles despite the plethora of tall office buildings. It was originally built in the 14th/15th centuries on the site of a still older church and has risen again from both fire and bomb damage.

After the bomb destruction of WW2 this is the only part of the old city which was re-constructed in the original medieval style. On the east side is the town hall, known as the Roemer, and the Lutheran Paulskirche where the City Parliament once used to convene. Opposite is a row of tall, thin houses/shops which give a good idea of how a lot of this whole area must have looked. On the south side is St Nicholas church.
