Did you know?

A stone ring embedded in the pavement today marks the spot where the Ulrichstein once stood as part of Frankfurt's city fortifications.

Guided Story

Imagine standing at a spot buzzing with medieval life. Can you hear the clang of swords and the calls of guards? Behind you, the Dreikönigskirche stands like a silent sentinel over history. This stone ring you see on the ground marks the Ulrichstein, once part of Sachsenhausen's formidable city wall. Picture merchants and travelers passing through these walls, each carrying a story of their own. To the north, the Iron Bridge, or Eiserner Steg, now connects people from around the world across the River Main. Envision the river flowing beneath, while watchmen above stood guard. This ring is more than just a stone; it's a window into Frankfurt's rich past.
