Berger Straße

This guide to Berger Strasse in Frankfurt traces how the street grew out of Bornheim, the village Frankfurters once escaped to on weekends for cheap apple wine and street dancing before the district joined the city in 1806. You'll hear about Apfelwein Solzer, pouring cloudy apple wine from a stoneware bembel since 1893, and dishes like handkase that few outsiders order twice. It follows the thread from a country lane to today's Bernemer Kerb, the street festival that still closes traffic each August.
