Hessen's "secret" capital: indispensable German business metropolis

Formerly a free imperial city and medieval stronghold of trade fairs and commerce, today Hesse's quasi-unofficial capital, stock exchange seat and banking metropolis in the middle of a conurbation. Once a Roman fort, Frankish fortress, electoral city of the German kings and the first German parliament, it is now also known as "Mainhattan" because of its numerous high-rise buildings: Frankfurt am Main, with its current population of just under 690,000, is not only the fifth-largest city in the Federal Republic of Germany, but also one of the most important transportation hubs in Europe due to its central location and local infrastructure, including the airport, main train station and highway interchange with millions of people. This is even more true for digital traffic; the DE-CIX Internet node, founded in Frankfurt in 1995, is currently the largest of its kind in the world in terms of throughput and data exchange. Nature and culture in and around the self-proclaimed "world capital of apple wine" ('Ebbelwoi') and proud eponym of the globally respected "Frankfurter Würstchen" are also attractive and appealing. 8,000 hectares, or one-third of the city's area, are occupied by the green belt alone, which has been designated as a ring-shaped landscape conservation area since 1984. Almost 5,000 hectares of this area belong to the city forest in the south.TheRhine-Main Regional Park, whose settlements such as Hattersheim, Flörsheim, Hochheim, Kelsterbach, Raunheim, Rüsselsheim, Nauheim, Bischofsheim and Ginsheim-Gustavsburg are already connected by a network of approximately 550 kilometers of park-like paths and green spaces, begins directly adjacent.

High attractiveness due to many potent employers has ensured high prices for years

In conjunction with the lively and diverse local art, culture and gastronomy scene with countless bars, clubs, pubs, restaurants and discos, over 60 museums, various operas and theaters, two symphony orchestras as well as the annual book fair and a local underground music scene fanned out into many styles and genres with numerous nationally known groups, Frankfurt's attractiveness as a place to live and work quickly becomes clear to everyone. But of course, living there also comes at a high price because of the numerous resident employers (including Deutsche Bank, Deutsche Bahn, European Central Bank, Commerzbank, Deutsche Börse, Hoechst AG, KPMG, Saatchi & Saatchi, Nestlé, Ferrero, Radeberger Gruppe). Last but not least, the highest German job density and the many commuters have caused real estate prices to virtually explode in recent years; the average real estate purchase price is currently around 4,100 euros/m². In top locations such as the Westend, Bornheim, the Old Town, the train station district, the Dichterviertel, the Diplomatenviertel and the Holzhausenviertel, however, prices can sometimes reach 5,000 to 10,000 euros/m². Most apartments in the city center, Griesheim, Sachsenhausen-Nord, Gallusviertel, Nordend-Ost and West, Ostend and Bockenheim are also priced above average and between around 4,000 and 5,000 euros/m². Prices still favorable by local standards, ranging from just under 3,000 to 4,000 euros/m², can be found in Berkersheim, Riedberg, Dornbusch, Hausen, Nied, Rödelheim, Seckbach, Bergen-Enkheim, Bonames, Bergen-Enkheim, Ginnheim, Höchst, Niederrad, Praunheim and Unterliederbach. For less than 2,000 euros/m², you will only find what you are looking for in Niederursel and Oberrad, if you are lucky.

Frankfurt am Main is flourishing, growing and therefore rebuilding in many places.

In the case of houses, the current average price is somewhat lower at a good 3,500 euros/m², but even here, in good to very good locations such as in the districts of Sachsenhausen, Seckbach, Griesheim, Riedberg and Bockenheim mentioned above, prices are now usually between 4,000 and almost 6,000 euros/m². In view of rising population figures, the many new construction projects already realized, under construction and still planned in Frankfurt naturally also have some significance for the dynamic city. The prestige area par excellence is certainly the "Dom Römer" in the old town with 20 planned new multi-family houses for around 200 people. The future "Europaviertel", which will cover some 145 hectares on the former railroad site between Bockenheim and Gallusviertel, is also to be developed in the foreseeable future with around 3,500 apartments, although their prices are likely to be in the upper price segment due to their central location. Other new residential areas for primarily well-funded interested parties are the envisaged projects at Eschbachtal/Harheimer Weg in Bonames, Harheim and Nieder-Eschbach, at Industriehof in Bockenheim, at Sandelmühle in Heddernheim, the 3,000 apartments in the office city in Niederrad and Schwanheim and the upgrading of Grüngürtelpark in Seckbach Nord. Also worth mentioning are the Maintor site in the city center with 21,000 m² of planned apartments, the restructuring of the Im Mainfeld housing estate in Niederrad, the northern Adickesallee planning area in the Nordend-West district, the 200 residential units on Dieburger Strasse in Fechenheim and the Riedberg planning area in Kalbach-Riedberg and Niederursel, where a good 15,000 people will one day live in around 6,000 residential units.
