Beschreibungen
<P>Neo-Baroque and half-timbered romanticism in a city that thinks big, is growing upwards, and already seems to have the century-to-come in view? Hardly had the plans to recreate the bombed-out old city between the cathedral and the city hall of the Römer been drafted when the criticism began.</P>
<P> And yet, today native Frankfurters cannot curb their enthusiasm. Around the Hühnermarkt, by now one of the most attractive squares in the city, a new world has grown, which with its pubs, stores, and even a barber shop has not only become a magnet for tourism. It is as if, next to a new heart, Frankfurt's centre city has also received a new soul.</P>
<P> This lushly illustrated volume recounts the exciting history of the Römerberg, gives a summary of the various debates surrounding its reconstruction, and takes the reader along on a tour of one of the most beautiful and important buildings in the new district.</P>

<p>Freddy Langer, geboren 1957, finanzierte sich das Studium der Amerikanistik, Film- und Fernsehwissenschaften mit Filmkritiken in der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung. Dass er nach dem Examen Redakteur im Reiseteil ebendieser Zeitung wurde, hat seine Begeisterung f&uuml;rs Kino nicht bremsen k&ouml;nnen. Mittlerweile ist er seit 30 Jahren Redakteur der FAZ. Seine Buchpublikationen konzentrierten sich bislang auf Reisethemen und die klassische Fotografie. Der Band<em> Frauen, die wir lieben</em> erschien 2008 im Elisabeth Sandmann Verlag, 2019 folgt sein Buch <em>Frankfurts neue Altstadt</em>.</p>
