Staufenmauer, Medieval city wall in Frankfurt, Germany
The Staufenmauer extends along Fahrgasse with sections reaching heights between 6 and 8 meters, featuring characteristic round arches across 75 meters.
Construction of the Staufenmauer began in 1180 under Hohenstaufen rule, establishing the first stone fortification to protect Frankfurt's growing medieval settlement.
The remaining sections of the wall demonstrate medieval military architecture with visible defense walkways and reinforced stone masonry techniques.
Sections of the wall stand near Konstablerwache transportation hub, making it accessible for visitors exploring Frankfurt's historical center.
The wall's original structure included three main gates - Guldenpforte, Bockenheimer Pforte, and Bornheimer Pforte - controlling access between old and new town sections.
