I am copying a friend's blogpost, since I have been on the same tour. The biggest difference is that we saw the same demonstration in Stuttgart, which is where we were on Saturday.
 |
| Romer Platz in Frankfurt, the main square |
 |
| According to our guide, Jim Morrison of the rock group "The Doors" made a donation of $500 to the pastor of this church and then proceeded to play the organ for over an hour |
 |
| Old architecture near Romer Platz |
 |
| Karmelite Monestery-built in 1460, with murals painted by Jorg Ratgeb (1514-19) |
 |
| Spiderman on this building-apparently there are several depictions of spiderman throughout the city |
 |
We saw dozens of policeman preparing for the demonstration protesting against the EU-US trade agreements. Tens of thousands of people showed up, we tried to stay out of the way, although it appeared peaceful.
|
 |
| Opera House-built in 1880, destroyed in war and rebuilt |
 |
| This tower was part of the original wall which surrounded frankfurt |
 |
| Frankfurt stock exchange-bull and bear are in the plaza in the front of the building |
 |
| Choose your favorite chocolate at the Klein Markt Hall |
 |
| Meat Market at the Klein Markt Hall |
 |
| Flower Stall in the Klein Markt Halle |
 |
| Holocaust Memorial Wall-memorializing over 11,000 individuals who were killed in the holocaust |
 |
| Stones are put on each memorial as a sign of remembrance to the individual who died |
 |
| Stolpersteins or stumbling stones are placed throughout Europe. Over 50,000 have been laid in 18 European countries. They bear the name and life dates of individual victims of Nazism |
