Treuners Altstadtmodell, Architectural model at Historical Museum in Frankfurt, Germany.
The Treuner brothers constructed a detailed wooden scale model measuring 4.8 by 2.5 meters, depicting Frankfurt's old town with colored paper facades.
Between 1926 and 1961, Hermann and Robert Treuner meticulously documented Frankfurt's medieval center before its destruction during World War II in March 1944.
The model represents the city's layout in 1927, after Braubachstrasse construction and before the modernization measures of the 1930s, preserving historical urban patterns.
Visitors can examine 64 segments of the 1:200 scale model at the Historical Museum, with the cathedral spire reaching 47.5 centimeters in height.
Each building in the model resulted from precise measurements recorded in sketchbooks, with detailed forms noting specific colors and architectural characteristics.
