Historisches Museum Frankfurt

The permanent exhibition at the Historisches Museum Frankfurt features a particularly fascinating section called 'Frankfurter.' This section does not focus on the grand histories of kings and nobles but rather on the everyday lives of ordinary Frankfurt citizens. It meticulously recreates items, clothing, and housing structures used by people from various social classes between the 18th and 20th centuries. Through this, visitors can vividly experience how citizens adapted and lived during times of rapid urban change.

The detailed exhibits, such as reconstructions of old kitchens and workshops, create the illusion of traveling back in time. If you believe that traveling is about peeking into the lives of the people who live in a city, then this section is a must-see. Understanding how the stories of ordinary citizens flowed within the grand currents of history and how their culture and identity were shaped will enrich your journey to Frankfurt.
