There is also a microclimate on the northern bank of the river Main which is responsible for palms, fig trees, lemon trees and southern European plants growing in that area. The area is called the "Nizza" and is one of the biggest parks with a Mediterranean vegetation north of the Alps. Winters in Frankfurt are generally mild or at least not freezing with a small possibility of snow, especially in January and February but dark and often overcast. Frankfurt is, on average, covered with snow only for around 10 to 20 days per year.
It is primarily used for soccer and concerts with a capacity up to 51,500. Locals still prefer to call the stadium by its traditional name, Waldstadion . Wallanlagen – The Wallanlagen relate to the former ring-shaped city wall fortifications around the Altstadt and the Innenstadt district (abolished 1804–1812), now a series of parks. Building is not allowed, with a few exceptions, the most famous being the Alte Oper at the Opernplatz. The part between the northern Main riverbank and the Opernplatz, referred to officially as Taunusanlage and Gallusanlage, is locally known as "Central Park" , because of the skyscrapers which stand on both sides. It starts in the city center, runs through Nordend and Bornheim and ends in Seckbach.

The Bundesautobahn 648 is a very short motorway in the western part which primarily serves as a fast connection between the A 66 and the Frankfurt Trade Fair. Frankfurt Trade Fair has the third-largest exhibition site in the world with a total of 578,000 m2 .

Lufthansa Cargo is based in Frankfurt and operates its largest cargo center at Frankfurt Airport. Many city districts are incorporated suburbs or were previously independent cities, such as Höchst. Postwar reconstruction took place in a sometimes simple modern style, thus changing Frankfurt's architectural face. A few landmark buildings were reconstructed historically, albeit in a simplified manner (e.g., Römer, St. Paul's Church, and Goethe House).

Some areas, especially around the shopping streets Zeil, Goethestraße and Freßgass, are pedestrian-only streets. Frankfurt Egelsbach Airport (Flugplatz Frankfurt-Egelsbach) is a busy general aviation airport located south-east of Frankfurt Airport, near Egelsbach. Wolkenkratzer Festival — The Skyscraper Festival is unique in Germany.
It houses ten exhibition halls with a total of 321,754 m2 of space and 96,078 m2 of outdoor space. The largest city district by population and area is Sachsenhausen, while the smallest is Altstadt, Frankfurt's historical center. The end of the war marked Frankfurt's comeback as Germany's leading financial hub, mainly because Berlin, now a city divided into four sectors, could no longer rival it.
Public transport
This is however chronologically incompatible with the archaeologically demonstrated Roman occupation of the area around Nida fortress in modern Heddernheim. The name is derived from the Franconofurd of the Germanic tribe of the Franks; Furt (cf. English ford) where the river was shallow enough to be crossed on foot. "The French commander issued a notice to the public informing them that the occupation was consequent upon the German advance in the Ruhr contrary to the Peace Treaty." The local Journal Frankfurt is the best-known magazine for events, parties, and "insider tips".
Since the 18th century, St. Bartholomew's has been called Dom, although it was never a bishop's seat. In 1867 it was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in its present style. It was again partially destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in the 1950s. The cathedral tower has a viewing platform open to the public at a height of 66 meters, accessed through a narrow spiral staircase with 386 steps. In 2010, 63 national and 152 international banks had a registered office, including the headquarters of the major German banks, as well as 41 offices of international banks. Frankfurt is therefore known as Bankenstadt ("City of the banks") and nicknamed "Mainhattan" or "Bankfurt".
History
Museumsuferfest – Museums Riverbank Festival is one of Germany's biggest cultural festivals, attracting more than 3 million visitors over three days at the end of August along the Main riverbank downtown. It offers live music, dance shows, booths for crafts, jewelry, clothes and food stands from around the world. St. Catherine's Church is the largest Protestant church, dedicated to Catherine of Alexandria, a martyred early Christian saint. It is located downtown at the entrance to the Zeil, the central pedestrian shopping street. Messe Frankfurt GmbH, the owner and operator company, organized 87 exhibitions in 2010, 51 thereof in foreign countries.
Prim's Carmel General Store is conveniently located in the Carmel Rancho Shopping Center at the mouth of Carmel Valley. Our wide variety of high-end home decor products include patio, garden, home restoration, indoor furniture and housewares. Frankfurt schools rank among the best-equipped schools nationwide for the availability of PCs and other media facilities. In order to assure maintenance and support of the school PCs, the city in cooperation with the University of Applied Sciences launched the project Fraline – IT-Schul-Service, an initiative employing students to provide basic school IT-support.
It takes place irregularly, lately in May 2013, and attracted around 1.2 million visitors. Sky-divers, base jumpers, fireworks and laser shows are extra attractions. Central and Eastern European Online Library – CEEOL is an online archive providing access to full-text articles from humanities and social science scholarly journals on Central, Eastern and South-Eastern European topics. Subject areas include anthropology, culture and society, economy, gender studies, history, Judaic studies, fine arts, literature, linguistics, political sciences and social sciences, philosophy and religion.
DekaBank – DekaBank is the central asset manager of the Sparkassen in Germany. The headquarters of DekaBank are located at the Trianon skyscraper at Mainzer Landstraße. With over 922 jobs per 1,000 inhabitants, Frankfurt has the highest concentration of jobs in Germany. On work days and Saturdays, one million people commute from all over the Rhein-Main-Area. Due to the growing immigration of people from Muslim countries beginning in the 1960s, Frankfurt has a large Muslim community.
Over 7,200 inhabitants are affiliated with the Jewish community, making it the second largest in Germany after Berlin. However, during the 19th century, an increasing number of Catholics moved to Frankfurt. As of 2013, the largest Christian denominations were Catholicism (22.7% of the population) and Protestantism, especially Lutheranism (19.4%). Being an urban heat island, Frankfurt is sometimes affected by tropical nights, where the temperature does not drop under 20 °C between May and September. This occurs because the density of the city causes it to store all the heat. The city is divided into 46 city districts , which are in turn divided into 121 city boroughs and 448 electoral districts .
Other major companies are Hewlett-Packard, Bridgestone, Deutsche Leasing and Basler Versicherungen. This is partly attributed to the financial sector, but also to its cosmopolitan nature, with expatriates and immigrants representing one-fourth of its population. For this reason, Frankfurt's property market often operates differently than the rest of the country where the prices are generally flatter. PricewaterhouseCoopers German headquarters are located at Tower 185. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu are present, while Ernst & Young is located in Eschborn.
