The new Old Town of Frankfurt

When the old town was destroyed in the 2nd World War, the Nazis did not want to rebuild it in order to show the attackers' lack of culture. After the war, the loss was to symbolically document the decline of the German spirit, which had led to dictatorship and destruction. During the war, however, people were already committed to documenting the famous Goethe House in detail in order to make post-war reconstruction as accurate as possible. After many discussions, the reconstruction was successful. The Goethe House was built to measure thanks to the good documentation. The golden scale in the new old town is faithfully reproduced up to the leather wallpaper and old techniques are used as far as possible. These reconstructed houses are now used as a museum. 35 houses were built in the new old town of Frankfurt, of which 15 were reconstructed true to the original and 20 were new buildings. The historical course of streets is now also visible again.
