Quartier
Berger Straße
Frankfurt-Bornheim is located in the eastern part of the city, close to downtown Frankfurt, and has a population of 30,437. To the north, Bornheim borders Eckenheim and Preungesheim, while the Nordend lies to the north and east above the Riederwald, with the Bornheimer Hang to the south and the Ostend to the south. The northeastern boundary is Seckbach.
Bornheim’s cityscape is shaped by its baroque town hall, numerous historic half-timbered houses, and colorful buildings. Locally known as „Bernem,“ Bornheim is often referred to as Frankfurt’s „fun village“ and has been part of the city since 1877. The name originated from the many taverns, cider bars, and carnival associations in the area.
This tradition of celebration continues today, especially in spring and autumn during the Dippemess, and in August during the lively Bernemer Kerb festival. This festival, which has taken place since 1608, is one of the oldest and most traditional events in Frankfurt, featuring a Kerwebaum (festive tree), a street parade, and the tradition of „Gickelschmiss.“
The Berger Straße shopping street, also known as „Bernemer Zeil,“ is the heart of the district. It stretches from the Nordend district through Bornheim to the Seckbach district. The area around Berger Straße is filled with numerous cafés and small shops, nestled between narrow alleys and colorful houses, showcasing the vibrant and diverse life in Bornheim. Twice a week, the local market at the Uhrtürmchen becomes the focal point of community life.
Historic taverns offer traditional Frankfurt specialties such as Handkäs with music. For those looking to stay active, the largest sports club in Hesse, TG Bornheim, or the Panoramabad at Bornheimer Hang provide excellent facilities. In winter, the ice sports hall is a special attraction, with over 9,000 square meters of ice for skating both indoors and outdoors.
