Skyscraperwise for sure and even better!
Otherwise Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne have more of the London flair.

That's not true imo. Frankfurt has 1) more business-flair than every other german city, and 2) it has a very international flair, which Frankfurt has in common with London - more than the four largest cities of Germany. It's not only about the skyscrapers.

Yes it´s a very international city and I truly do love Frankfurt as well.
But the others are even larger, more diverse and especially Berlin is a cultural metropolis just like London.

I think the problem here is, that Frankfurt doesn't need to be the London (or whatever city) of Germany. Frankfurt is a great city on it's own and can stand for itself. In my opinion the skyline of Frankfurt is even superior to London's. So maybe London is the Frankfurt of England?
Honestly, I always disliked those comparing-names like:
"Florence on the Elbe" or "Venice of the North" or "Mainhattan". It puts cities like Dresden, St. Petersburg or Frankfurt down, I think.
I'm pretty sure though, the poster was actually trying to compliment Frankfurt.

I, myself regard Frankfurt as the financial heart of Continental Europe, and the city with most impressive skyline on the continent. Do I need to compare Frankfurt with London or Berlin, or any other city? I don't think so...

I HAVEN'T said that Frankfurt is the greatest city on Earth.
I just wanted to underline that it's an important city with its OWN identity and class.

BTW, it would be great to see some recent pictures of Frankfurt in this thread.

Don't pay attention to SO143. He is a well known troll, just on his round through the forum bashing Frankfurt (and hyping London)...for whatever reason.
If he would at least have as much respect and decency, to not turn the photo galleries of forumers into a trollfest... They do deserve better!

Thanks very much for the pictures, man from k-town.

Frankfurt is seriously impressive and truly stunning!
Dresden is at least "Europe´s balcony"...
Germany has the world´s finest cities ever seen!

According to many people of our old and gone generations, many of the cities were so much more beautiful until the allies bombed the shit out of them ... fkin war criminals.

Yeahh I love german cities too and maybe even more those before WW II but you must admit that as you said "fkin war criminals" first came to Poland and rest of Europe. Don't exaggerate so much

Don't worry buddy hehe, I'm cool. I just disrespect the bombing terror which was done by the allies.

[LtBk]

I find Frankfurt to be underrated aside from the skyline. A lot of people in SSC think the city is boring.

ALL do who know how bad it really was and too what unnecessary extent it was done

No, I don´t know that it was bad to fight national socialism with all force. Stopping the nazi empire and do everything to destroy the system of Auschwitz and Treblinka as soon as possible was IMO a bit more important than preserving some nice old towns.

[Corvetten-Ralf]

It's not only about preserving cities, but also about preserving lifes...
