Bergen-Enkheim

Bergen-Enkheim is a residential neighborhood in Frankfurt that blends modern housing with older buildings and substantial green spaces throughout. The district features shopping centers and local facilities that serve the daily needs of people living here.

The district was formed in 1936 when Bergen and Enkheim merged, and it became part of Frankfurt in 1977 as an administrative division. This combination shaped how the area is organized and identified today.

The district celebrates its heritage through the Berger Markt festival each September, where residents and visitors gather to experience local traditions. This annual event reflects how the neighborhood maintains its sense of community identity through shared celebrations.

The neighborhood has good shopping options, especially at the Hessen-Center with stores and restaurants for daily needs. Streets are well laid out and green areas are easy to reach, making walks through the district pleasant and straightforward.

The White Tower, a late Gothic defensive tower from the era of the Hanau counts, stands as a witness to the medieval past of the area. This tower reminds visitors that the neighborhood once had fortifications for protection.
