Frauenhof, Cultural heritage monument in Frankfurt, Germany.

Frauenhof is a Baroque complex in Frankfurt-Niederrad built between 1761 and 1781 for the cotton manufacturer Johann Friedrich Müller. Its northern part, the "Schlößchen" of 1761, faces a later annex across a gateway arch that once carried a small clock tower, a landmark of Niederrad destroyed in 1944. Alongside the Bolongaropalast in Höchst it is Frankfurt's only fully preserved Baroque complex.

The cotton manufacturer Johann Friedrich Müller built the northern part, the "Schlößchen", in 1761 and added the opposite wing in 1781, linking both with a gate arch topped by a clock tower. His heirs gave up the factory in 1806; in 1817 the farmer Karl Maximilian Schulze bought the estate, and in 1841 the Katharinen- und Weißfrauenstift acquired it, giving the house its name. A 1944 air raid destroyed the roof and clock tower, which were never rebuilt.

The name Frauenhof comes from the St. Katharinen- und Weißfrauenstift, which bought the estate in 1841. The clock turret over the gateway became Niederrad's landmark; a bomb destroyed it in 1944 and it was never rebuilt. Since 2010 a Kita has occupied the southern annex, and a Turkish cultural association and a mosque use rooms here.

The Frauenhof stands in Frankfurt-Niederrad, not the old town, at the corner of Schwarzwaldstrasse and Frauenhofstrasse. The grounds are private: the southern annex houses a city Kita (since 2010), while a Turkish cultural association and a mosque use other rooms. Visitors see the baroque facade and the gate arch from the public street.

Between 1889 and 1908 the Frankfurter Waldbahn ran through the Frauenhof's archway, so the tram tracks passed directly beneath the clock tower that Johann Friedrich Müller had built. A 1944 air raid destroyed the roof and the tower; the emergency roof was never repaired and the clock tower was not rebuilt.
