100 Years of 'Neues Frankfurt' – seit 2025 wird dieses Jubiläum begangen. Genau 100 Jahre her ist es auch, dass der Architekt Martin Elsaesser die Arbeit an seinem größten Projekt aufnahm: der Frankfurter Großmarkthalle.
Aus Anlass dieser beiden Jubiläen bieten wir 2026 auch wieder Führungen in der ehemaligen Großmarkthalle an, die sich insbesondere diesem historischen Gebäude widmen, aber auch das ‚Neue Frankfurt‘ sowie die Person Martin Elsaessers und sein Wirken in Frankfurt zum Thema haben.
Of course, the history of the wholesale market hall also includes its current use as part of the European Central Bank. During our tour of the hall's ground floor, we will also inform you about the hall's transformation by the architects COOP Himmelb(l)au, the concept and architecture of the ECB's headquarters. (No, a visit to the towers the ECB is unfortunately not part of our tour.)

Once you have passed the inspection, you can feel very safe and look forward to gaining insights into a very special building.
