Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof The forecourt of Frankfurt Central Station is one of the most important urban spaces in Frankfurt am Main. It creates the first impression of the city for thousands of visitors arriving every day. The historic station building reflects Frankfurt’s development as a major financial and transportation center.
The forecourt functions as a central transport hub, connecting regional and long-distance trains with trams, buses, taxis, cyclists, and pedestrians. It links the station to the city center, the banking district, and surrounding neighborhoods, while also connecting Frankfurt to the wider Rhine-Main region.
At the same time, the forecourt is a public space that expresses the dynamic and international character of the city. It represents mobility, history, and urban life, and plays a key role in shaping Frankfurt’s image.
