Premiere at lofty heights: Frankfurt celebrates first Rooftop Day on 23 August
All the way up. All yours.
Frankfurt's skyline is unique: of the 22 skyscrapers in Germany with a height of over 150 metres, 20 are located in the Main metropolis. Experience this impressive skyline from a new perspective: on Rooftop Day, numerous locations at lofty heights invite you to linger – with delicious drinks, culinary highlights and relaxed sounds.
On Saturday, 23 August, the City Marketing Department and Tourismus+Congress GmbH Frankfurt am Main (TCF) are organising the first Frankfurt Rooftop Day – a new, urban event format that will take place every two years from now on.
Each host designs their own programme and shapes it with individual ideas and personal style. Poetry slams, live music and culinary themed parties have already been added to the programme. There are no limits to creativity. Each host is also an organiser. This creates a diverse, inspiring city event above the rooftops of Frankfurt.
Rooftop Day invites all kinds of roof terraces to become part of the event. From the Lord Mayor's office to the Städel Museum roof terrace – visitors can discover special places that are only open to the public or can be experienced in a unique way on Rooftop Day.
Doreen Mölders, Director of the Historisches Museum Frankfurt, says: "The Historisches Museum is showing the two oldest rooftops in the city: the “Belvederchen” in the "Haus zur Goldenen Waage" from the 16th century. It is a rooftop terrace with an ornamental fountain, arbour and view of the cathedral tower. Exclusively for the Rooftop Day, we are also opening the roof truss of the medieval rent tower with a spectacular view of the Main.”
