The Frankfurt old town between Dom and Roemer presents a tense and
politically charged construction history like no other area of the
city: starting with the onset of modernity, when new means of
transport required the forging of roads through the small-scale
building developments of the old town, to the housing development
during the New Frankfurt area, to the almost complete destruction
in the Second World War. The modern reconstruction plans in the
1950s and 1960s were fraught with disputes about whether the
architecture should be rebuilt or newly built as modern. In the
1970s, Frankfurt built the Technical Town Hall and the Historical
Museum in the style of brutalism on Roemerberg, followed in the
1980s by postmodern buildings and reconstructions. Since 2013,
other large areas of the historical old town are being newly
developed after the demolition of the Technical Town Hall. This
book provides an account of the constructional development of the
old town, based on representative buildings and construction
projects. A look at urban developments in Germany and Europe allow
a comparison of the specific Frankfurt situation. There is a
particular focus on the debate about the pros and cons of old town
reconstruction, as well as its significance for identity and
tradition.
