Salzhaus, Cultural heritage monument in Römerberg, Frankfurt, Germany.
The Salt House stands 22 meters tall at Römerberg 27, featuring a distinctive four-level design and traditional German timber-framed architecture.
Built in 1600, the structure endured substantial damage during a March 1944 air raid, leading to partial destruction and post-war reconstruction.
The building represents a significant example of German Renaissance architecture, combining medieval construction methods with regional building traditions.
The ground floor remains part of the original structure, while upper levels display architectural elements from the post-war reconstruction period.
Local preservation groups initiated discussions in the 1980s regarding the restoration of the historical facade, though these plans were not implemented.
