Much of FRANKFURT AM MAIN, including almost all of the city centre, was demolished during World War II. Instead of restoring the city's previous buildings, builders decided to build anew. For that reason, the skyline looks more like New York than the Federal Republic. The skyscraper district is indeed nicknamed "Mainhattan". It is also not surprising with their forward thinking attitute that the headquarters of major banks and newspapers are located here. But, Frankfurt is rich in culture. The Städelsches Kunstinstitut occupies a Neo-Renaissance building on the "museum embankment" housing a fine collection of Dutch and German print and drawings and Old Masters such as Botticelli, van Eyck, Rembrandt and Vermeer.
