Dear Visitor, Welcome to Frankfurt! |
I am happy to see you here. Welcome to the Jewish part of Frankfurt. This is a private website and does not represent the Official Jewish Community of Frankfurt in the Internet. My page shows you all the latest news about religious Jewish life in Frankfurt. This homepage is a summary of all the important Jewish and Tourist locations, prayer schedules and more!
If you need further information concerning traveling to Germany, contact me. I am more than happy to help you.
To find your way from the International Airport to Frankfurt am Main is pretty simple. The public transfer system is very well developed and on time (we are in Germany ;-)). When you arrive in the Arrival-Area, please look for the "REGIONALBAHNHOF", which is where the Metro-Trains (in German S-Bahn) leave. Take the S8 or S9 into Frankfurt City.
If you are heading to the Jewish Community Center, get off at "Taunusanlage" and ask for Savigny Strasse 66. If you want to go to the Westend Synagogue (and Shtible) go to "Hauptwache" and swich trains for U6 or U7 directions Heerstrasse or Hausen. (The "U" stands for Subway / Underground trains.) Get off at "Westend" and follow the street "Freiherr-vom-Stein-Strasse until you see the Police car at house number 30. The entrance for the Shtible is "Altkoenig Strasse 22". The ride from the Airport to "Taunusanlage" is about 11 minutes. To the "Westend"-Stop about 25 minutes. |
