The historic city center with its impressive half-timbered houses was rebuilt in 1986 according to the original plans.

The city tour gives you a good overview of the most important sights and also includes a walk around the Römerberg. The Römer, the city's landmark and historic city hall, is still the seat of the Lord Mayor to this day and is particularly impressive for its striking facade.
