Frankfurt
am Main Pre-war pictures of the "Roemerberg" (Roman Hill), Frankfurt's Town Hall square. In earlier times the square was the site of tournaments, passion plays, and coronation festivals of German emperors. Today, the Roemerberg remains the focal point of the traditional Christmas market. Originally this square was divided by an arm of the Braubach to the Main, the Roemerberg was originally divided into tow parts, the Samstagsberg (Saturday Hill) to the east, and Roemerberg (Roman Hill) to the west. It served above all as the site of the weekly market (Wochenmarkt). It was the largest Square of Old Frankfurt, and the central point of all important events, whether the trade fairs or imperial coronations, especially since 1405 when the town hall moved into the houses collectively known as the Roemer. Vorkriegsbilder vom "R�merberg", Frankfurts Rathaus-Platz. Hier fanden in fr�herer Zeit Turniere, Passionsspiele und Feste bei Kaiserkr�nungen statt. Der R�merberg ist noch heute der Mittelpunkt des traditionellen Weihnachtsmarktes. Der
urspr�nglich durch einen Abfluss des Braubachs zum Main in zwei ansteigende
Teile getrennte Platz, die zuweilen auch durch die Bezeichnung Samstagsberg
(�stlich) und R�merberg (westlich) geschieden wurden, diente vor allem dem
Wochenmarkt.
