Frankfurt and the Oscars

Frankfurt and the Oscars
The annual Academy Awards is one of the most watched events on the international entertainment calendar. Each year, the most talented actors, directors, producers and filmmakers from around the world gather in Los Angeles to celebrate their work and craft. But did you know that Frankfurt am Main also has a connection to the Oscars? The Oscars traditionally take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, but preparations often begin weeks and months in advance in many parts of the world. Frankfurt is one of the places where some of the most important preparations for the Oscars take place. This is because Frankfurt is an important hub for the film industry in Europe. Frankfurt is home ...

- Advertorial - Photography has been one of the most popular hobbies for people around the world for over 100 years. With ever-improving technology, convenient photo editing software and the mobile phone as "camera-to-go"always with you, even amateurs with no previous experience are now able to take great pictures. In addition, in recent years, social media have become the platform for better and better photos, through which a large audience can be reached. But to stand out from the crowd, you just need the motif with that certain something. Always new photos of the Frankfurt Römer or the Städelmuseum, be they ever so technically well implemented, are hardly eye-catchers anymor ...

Uff.... Still Lockdown. But still there are many nice places to discover and things to do in (and around) Frankfurt. To give you some ideas, we would like to introduce you to some of our favourite places in our latest blog post. We have chosen places that you can also visit or use their offers during the lockdown. The tips for walks, culinary delights and entertainment come from Sebastian, Melina and Magnus, with our Frankfurt-Tipp veteran Sebastian kicking things off: Sebastian's tips: I'll first introduce you to two favorite places today that aren't directly in Frankfurt, but still somehow belong there. And then there is of course a real Frankfurt favourite. But first I'll take y ...

Sharing Plate - A Culinary World Tour through Frankfurt
Ah, what I would give for a piece of cake in a café, a delicious dinner with my loved ones in a restaurant or a drink in a bar? For several months now, we've been living in lockdown again and - I don't know about you - it's starting to get on my nerves. Going out with friends in the evening is something I really miss and when I don't feel like or have time to cook, I like to order something with my boyfriend from our favorite "standard" restaurants. Who doesn't do that? But by now, it's also a bit boring to try the same old pizza place or sushi place across the street for dinner. But "then at least I know that it tastes good" I think to myself and with this sentence I pick up the ...

Discover Frankfurt in a different way - Geocaching in the City
The lockdown is getting on my nerves, like probably all of you. I just miss the normal everyday life, the meetings with friends, the cultural life and the possibilities to go out for a delicious meal somewhere in the city. But that will all come back and until then, a little creativity is needed to escape from the lockdown every now and then and to get other thoughts. In doing so, I came across a topic that a friend of mine had suggested to me more than a year ago: Geocaching! This kind of scavenger hunt has not really appealed to me so far, but the idea to discover Frankfurt in this way I found very appealing, not only in view of the fact that the ceiling falls on my head at home. ...

Sometimes it pays to look up when walking through the streets of our city. I learned this in 2013, when numerous building facades became temporary works of art as part of an exhibition at the Schirn about Brazilian street art. In Frankfurt, there are always great murals - sometimes temporary, sometimes permanent - and large-scale graffiti artworks. We even have a house in our city that owes its name to its wall painting. We are of course talking about the "painted house" in Sachsenhausen. Today I'd like to take you on a walk (or even a bike ride) to some particularly worth seeing works, which also make great photo motifs, and also introduce you to a few other special murals. Are yo ...

Our country is still in lockdown mode and there are few options for recreation outside of our own four walls. I don't know about you, but for me, a nice walk through Frankfurt is always a welcome alternative in such a case. Whether on foot or by bike, there is a lot to discover in the extensive GrünGürtel. What I personally particularly like here are the works designed by artists of the New Frankfurt School in cooperation with the Caricatura Museum für Komische Kunst. Admittedly, not all of the works are accessible or in use during the winter months and during the lockdown. For example, the Squirrel King by F. K. Waechter can only be visited again when the StadtWaldHaus (also al ...

Traffic turnaround in Frankfurt? The SUV among the bikes and always drama about parking
Place there? For mobile city dwellers, the happiness of this earth depends on a small free spot where the vehicle is parked. Both car and bike have to stay somewhere, after all. Who has a parking spot at work? Just last week, employees at St. Catherine's Hospital actually threatened to quit because commuters were taking away parking spaces from them. So, space-wise, there's still steam in the kettle in Frankfurt. The future of mobility, which I had envisioned so beautifully over Carnival in the last post, it continues to be a long time coming in local transport policy. While the International Motor Show, or IAA for short, is gone. Still there remains the daily mass of cars, bicycle ...

At the bakery, the delicious Kreppel in the display tempt with streamers, the orthopedist in Seckbach decorates her support stockings wildly and colorfully, and my friends hop around on Instagram in Pippi Longstocking costumes. There's no doubt about it anymore: the fifth season is in full swing. Not long now, then the procession moves through Klaa Paris (aka Heddernheim), the gentlemen get the ollest ties out of the closet on Weiberfasnacht and the fools hammer emphatically on the city hall door to take over the city.

Brexit or no Brexit - relations at the European level are now severed, but we can take comfort: after all, those who leave never quite leave. A piece of everyone remains behind. So too of our British friends, who fortunately remain with us on a local level. The close ties between Frankfurt and Britain have left their mark on the Main with us. Although today political Britain is leaving the European Union, de facto human, cultural and personal togetherness remains untouched. Although, yes, I did look into it: Our fellow English and Northern Irish citizens are among the group of foreigners whose numbers have fallen the most in the past year. There are currently just over 2,000 Brit ...

Are you also afflicted by the January blues? The year's not really getting rolling yet. Sigh. The flab hasn't gone away yet either. Little to be happy about so far. We could, of course, do as our "still friends", the Londoners do. They've been holding a "No trousers on the tube Day" in the first month of the new year for the past eleven years to chase away the January blues. Now we know that English humour has been a special one ever since. And for those of you who are now wondering how our English friends do the action on the tube on the way to work, and wondering if they really do drop their pants, let me assure you: yes. Ladies and gents wear twine on top, pumps or brightly poli ...

Happy New Year. Welcome to the new 20's. I hope you all slid in well! How do you start a new year? If you're anything like me, the first thing I always like to do is knock down pegs: Vacation dates, free time. The essentials ;-) To give structure to the unknown that lies ahead. And to motivate myself for the daily routine. Where are the small and big freedoms, the everyday joys? The fun? Although resolutions aren't really my thing (there are still a few lying around untouched from three years ago, who else?), the hamster wheel doesn't have to start up again right away. Where does life happen in Frankfurt? Less routine, more life, as the American teacher and reformer Amos Bronson Al ...

By the end of October, I was hell-bent: This year, I would do everything better.

Five days before Christmas Eve, it would be time for a little reality check. Let's start with the good news: New Year's Eve is in the bag. Location, menu - everything is arranged perfectly.

It was rattling cold today - perfect for an evening visit to the Christmas market in downtown Frankfurt. Which brings us right to today's topic: What kind of Christmas market do you like best? Are you more traditionally minded? Or do you prefer small, cosy markets that only take place on one Advent weekend? I have my favourite stand at the Frankfurt Christmas market for the Feuerzangenbowle. My neighbour, on the other hand, visits a different market in the Rhine-Main area every Sunday and meets her family there. Special scenery likes againrum a colleague of mine. So you will find today here in the InsideFFMBlog five fine Christmas markets that I like this year particularly well. Qu ...

November is often considered a depressing month: grey, wet and cold. That's when you're drawn to the sofa after work, with a glass of wine or a hot ginger tea and you're fine. In fact, today I want to beat the drum properly for the eleventh month of the year, it has so many adventurous and also droll things to offer outside. Starting with the colours of nature: gold, mustard and green have been in full bloom for a few weeks now, bringing a golden touch to the Rhine-Main area, to forests and parks. Chestnuts and beeches alike are changing from green to yellow and rich mustard at the ramparts or green oases like Huthpark. Vivid red here and there adds the horse chestnut as a bright s ...

Autumn is briskly underway, leaves on the side of the road are as much a testament to that as the changeable weather and the switch to wintertime. But for me, there's no such thing as autumn depression since I've gotten into the habit of discovering special things in this supposedly gray month. Today I'll tell you which events in Hesse and Frankfurt are opening up a new world for me. Jewish Culture Weeks: Moving, stirring, surprising First of all, there are the Jewish Culture Weeks - the Jewish community in Frankfurt is an enrichment without equal.

Were cars in focus just a moment ago, October comes up with truly sensational cultural events. The book fair and the Van Gogh exhibition really make Frankfurt the cultural capital of Germany, if I may say so with all due modesty. What do I do in Frankfurt in October? A lot of Scandinavian moments, or rather Norwegian moments, the book fair gives us right in the middle of the month. As someone who studied literature as a child devouring his favorite books like "Hanni and Nanni" under the covers with a flashlight, I naturally think book fairs are wonderful. Of course, for those of you who write, blog or podcast yourselves, the Book Fair is a must-visit From bloggers to podcasters to ...

Climate, waste and air: What can I do for the environment in Frankfurt
It's Friday again. It's climate strike day. The excitement of the week has shown that the climate is already scratching at our own front door. Just now, Hessischer Rundfunk and the venerable Frankfurter Allgemeine were slapping each other on the ears for it. What happened? Students of a high school in Sachsenhausen want to cruise in the Baltic Sea on a class trip. Because everyone was suddenly talking about the climate, those involved got a good scolding, because such a cruise ship is not considered particularly environmentally friendly. Both media represented opposing opinions. But the debate shows: Climate is no longer abstract. It is also no longer about burning trees in Brazil, ...

Small and short - not even a real street and with a pretty convenient name, that's the "Alte Gasse". Quick to drive through, it is, too. In the city centre, it connects the roundabout at Klaus-Mann-Platz with the busy Bleichstraße. Who pays attention to this small section, which finally joins Peterstraße at the Wallanlagen at the level of the Escheinheimer Anlage? Who even knows it? So little noticed it was not always. In the past, for example, the cattle market was moved from Rossmarkt to Alte Gasse in 1822. The small, fine street between Bleichstraße and Schäfergasse But back to the question of which street is the most exciting here at home? Sure, Brückenstraße, Berger, Wal ...
