Saalgasse

Saalgasse stretches between the Historical Museum and Weckmarkt, featuring modern townhouses designed by different architects with varied architectural styles and facades.

The street originated in medieval times as Saalhofgasse, named after the Saalhof building, and served as one of three main east-west traffic routes until 1944.

Each building along the street represents individual architectural expressions from the 1980s reconstruction period, creating an ensemble of post-modern residential designs.

The street connects several main attractions in Frankfurt's old town and provides access to multiple dining establishments, including the traditional tavern Zum Storch.

The post-war reconstruction maintained the original medieval street proportions while introducing Mediterranean-influenced contemporary architecture through individual townhouse designs.
