The restoration of the
destroyed old town, between 2012 and 2018, was disputed.
The most important
arguments were:
Cons
- Despite ”reconstructions“ of the old houses, the new houses stand out with the reinvention of the old architectural style.
- Something is being built from which the inhabitants moved away earlier. This means that the old town used to have poor sanitary conditions. The narrow architectural style was due to the lack of space and was used for poor people at the time of destruction. Therefore, the question of why it should be rebuilt is justified.
- There was the question whether it would not have been time to vote for a new daring architecture, in contrast to the reconstruction of the historical buildings and to justify this with feelings of homeland.
- Condominiums were supposed to balance the investments and bring back the money hoped for, this was a crucial point that voted for the reconstruction again. But some of the apartments are not inhabited. Why not? This is because one would have to be insane to want to live in a tourism sector.
- Many say that the reconstruction of the bombed buildings from the Second World War is supposed to conceal Nazi crimes.
Pros
- It would not fit if new modern housing complexes were to be built into the well-preserved old town.
- Frankfurters identify with their old town "their heart", so the citizen´s view. The old town should create a feeling of home among the people of Frankfurt and allow them to grow closer together.
- It is intended to underline the art-historical significance of Frankfurt´s old town and to make Frankfurt fashionably chic again as well as to dress up for the tourist sector.
- It is intended to bring income to Frankfurt and thus financially support the city.
