BRÜCKENVIERTEL
– A Mixture of tradition & modernity –
“Brückenviertel” in Sachsenhausen is one of Frankfurt`s most attractive and creative districts. The dynamic neighborhood is a place where individuality and diversity are lived, creating a refreshing spirit of urban vitality.

Individuality is lived
It is the mix of traditional shops and individual boutiques that creates the special flair of the “Brückenviertel”.
