Germany at a Glance
33 Frankfurt am Main Shopping, Sights and Night life Commerzbank-Arena The Commerzbank-Arena stands on the site of its great predecessor – the legendary Frankfurt Waldstadion . The new arena was built at the start of the new millennium for sports, concerts, business events and all kinds of large gatherings. When the soccer stars of the Eintracht Frankfurt run their matches in the stadium, the fans inside and outside the venue are most excited and create a great atmosphere. • www.commerzbank-arena.de Sachsenhausen District In contrast to the busy inner-city life and its internationally renowned shopping opportunities, the rural-style suburbs with their romantic half-timbered houses offer an idyllic village atmosphere that represents German Gemütlichkeit , or cosiness. After a day's shopping in Frankfurt, an enjoyable evening can be arranged in a traditional apple wine pub in the Sachsenhausen district or at one of the countless jazz and live music venues. Alt-Sachsenhausen , with its traditional apple wine pubs, historical half-timbered houses and narrow alleys, stands for Frankfurt's cosiness and hospitality. No stay is complete without a quick visit for a glass of the renowned “Frankfurt Ebbelwei”. • www.frankfurt.de • www.frankfurt-interaktiv.de 9 10
