Alt-Sachsenhausen

Große Rittergasse 53, 60594 Frankfurt am Main-Frankfurt-Süd

Cobbled lanes of timber-framed taverns pouring tart apple wine from grey stoneware jugs since the nineteenth century.

This guide to Alt-Sachsenhausen in Frankfurt opens with a challenge: almost everything in this cobbled quarter that looks medieval was rebuilt after the Second World War, copied and aged to resemble the fourteen hundreds. One house near Schellgasse is not a copy, its oak skeleton raised by hand around 1291 and pegged together with wattle and daub instead of nails.
