Frankfurt am Main, Germany
About Frankfurt am Main
Frankfurt am Main is the largest city in the German state of Hesse and the
fifth-largest city in Germany, with a 2008 population of 670,000. The urban area had
an estimated population of 2.26 million in 2001. The city is at the centre of the
larger Frankfurt/Rhine-Main Metropolitan Region which has a population of 5.3 million
and is Germany's second largest metropolitan area.
In English, this city's name translates to "Frankfurt on the Main" (pronounced like
English mine or German mein). The city is located on an ancient ford on the river
Main, the German word for which is "Furt". A part of early Franconia, the inhabitants
were the early Franks. Thus the city's name receives its legacy as being the "ford of
the Franks".
Situated on the Main River, Frankfurt is the financial and transportation centre of
Germany and the largest financial centre in continental Europe. It is seat of the
European Central Bank, the German Federal Bank, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Frankfurt Trade Fair, as well as several large commercial banks. Frankfurt Airport is one of the world's busiest international airports, Frankfurt Central Station is one
of the largest terminal stations in Europe, and the Frankfurter Kreuz (Autobahn
interchange) is the most heavily used interchange in continental Europe. Frankfurt is
the only German city listed as one of ten Alpha world cities. Frankfurt lies in the
former American Occupation Zone of Germany, and it was formerly the headquarters city of the U.S. Army in Germany.
Among English speakers the city is commonly known simply as "Frankfurt", though
Germans occasionally call it by its full name when it is necessary to distinguish it
from the other (significantly smaller) "Frankfurt" in the state of Brandenburg,
Frankfurt (Oder).
