Although I didn't necessarily agree with all of the choices (a few of the buildings in Frankfurt were included, inevitably), the detail that went into making them is incredible.

We walked into the house in the middle of a tour, but we were allowed to join just in time to learn all about the Frankfurter kitchen.

Apparently they have events in the garden and in the house during the warmer weather.

Anybody who is interested in architecture in general, or the bathhouse, or of course the new Frankfurt , should visit!
