HOW FRANKFURT’S CENTRAL STATION
WAS RIDICULED
After its inauguration in 1888, Frankfurt’s central station initially attracted ridicule:
it was located in an open field, 600 metres away from the city, with pieces of railway tracks scattered all around it … but this station was just the starting point of an extensive journey. In every sense.
New streets, houses, villas and shops followed soon after. And hotels – especially hotels. Sophisticated travellers were drawn to modern luxuries, travelling with the fashionable ‘Mädler’ suitcases straight from the shop at Kaiserstraße 29. The ladies wore modern and elegant straight-cut dresses, while chivalrous gentlemen dressed in smart, three-piece suits, preferably with top hats.
Five large houses were built around Frankfurt’s train station alone. All of them were magnificent. And all of them were destroyed. But one of them defied the odds: Hotel Hohenzollern. It was a hotel, a cinema, and a nightclub. It was loved, neglected and forgotten.
And now this very building offers a unique opportunity:
The Hotel Hohenzollern Office Building is one of the most extraordinary office buildings in Frankfurt. State-of-the-art offices in a magnificent building that dates back to 1910, but remains true to the spirit of its creators – welcoming, open and luxurious.
