Old Town Hall

Old Town Hall

　 Introduction It is one of the landmarks of Frankfurt. Located on the Römerberg (Roman Square), it consists of three triangular, stepped houses that recreate the style of the 15th century. It was once the site of imperial coronations and is now the office of the mayor.

On the second floor of the building is the Kaisersaal (Emperor's Hall), where coronation ceremonies of the Holy Roman Emperors were held. The hall’s walls are adorned with portraits of 52 emperors, from Charlemagne to Francis II.

The former banquet hall used after imperial coronations is now a reception hall and also serves as the venue where the German national football team is celebrated upon their triumphant return, with fans gathering in jubilation. On the second-floor balcony decorated with heraldic patterns, players of the German national team are welcomed by the public.
