Großer und Kleiner Engel, Timber-framed house at Römerberg, Frankfurt, Germany
The six-story wooden building features ornate half-timbered upper floors with detailed carvings and bay windows above a stone ground floor.
Built in 1562, the Great Angel house combined two parcels, making it one of the most decorated private buildings of late Gothic architecture in Frankfurt.
Biblical inscriptions on the facade reflect both religious principles and financial transactions, indicating the building's role in Frankfurt's merchant society.
The building stands at Römerberg 28, forming the northernmost structure of the east row in Frankfurt's historic center.
The basement underneath the structure extends beyond the building's footprint and was originally accessible through a separate entrance.
