Frankfurt (Oder)
Frankfurt (Oder)
Two towns are located next to each other on the opposite shores of the central section of the river Oder. The Kleist town Frankfurt (Oder) and Slubice in Poland are connected by a bridge. Visitors can walk from one town centre to the other in just ten minutes. This is not the only interesting and worthwhile aspect of the former powerful university, trading and Hanseatic town Frankfurt (Oder). It is also close to Berlin, Spreewald Forest, the Oderbruch and the entire Mark region. Most interesting, however, is the town itself. Large parts of the medieval town centre were destroyed in World War II. Nevertheless, some of the old buildings and monuments from the 14th and 15th century have been restored for interesting purposes. A few examples include the biggest single-nave north German brick Gothic church (1353 to 1524) – the ‘roofed ruin’ – that is now used as a venue for diverse encounters with artists and as a stunning setting for the annual Hanse festival. The Franciscan monastery church (1270 to 1526) is now a concert hall of international acclaim. The town hall (from 1253) is among Germany’s biggest medieval town halls. The town centre also caters for a wide range of shopping and catering needs with destinations such as Lenné-Passagen and Oderturmpassagen.
