The Gallus Quarter: A Lively Mosaic of Culture and History
Discover the Gallus quarter: a lively mosaic of culture and history in Frankfurt
Welcome to the Gallus Viertel, a unique district of Frankfurt that combines its industrial past with a vibrant present. Formerly known as an industrial and working-class district, the Gallus neighborhood has changed dramatically since its destruction in World War II and is now a vibrant mix of culture, history and modern city life.
Mainzer Landstrasse, which runs right through the quarter, forms the economic axis of the Gallus quarter. But it’s not just the stores and offices that characterize the neighborhood. Since the turn of the millennium, more and more service providers have settled here, including theaters, advertising agencies and the adult education center. They all contribute to the fact that the Gallus quarter today offers a diverse and lively image.
In the heart of the neighborhood you’ll find the famous Gallus Theater, housed in the historic Adlerwerke. With its diverse cultural offerings, it enlivens the neighborhood and provides a stage for artists from around the world. It’s a place where you can get inspired and discover new perspectives.
The Gallus quarter is also home to some of Germany’s most renowned media companies, including the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Frankfurter Neue Presse, the Deutscher Fachverlag and the Frankfurter Societätsverlag. They help make the district an important hub for information and communication in Frankfurt.
Every Friday you can buy fresh fruit and vegetables at the weekly market on Frankenallee (between Schwalbacher and Krifteler Straße). It’s a place where you can enjoy local produce while experiencing the neighborhood community.
The Gallus district also includes the new City West district and the Europaviertel. With its numerous restaurants and the Skyline Plaza shopping center, they enrich the quality of life in the Gallus district and offer a wealth of opportunities for eating, shopping and relaxing.
The Gallus Viertel is more than just a district – it is a place full of life and history, a place that is constantly evolving yet never forgets its roots. So come and discover for yourself what the Gallus Viertel has to offer.
