Welcome To the fourth edition of the CPhI, ICSE and P-MEC Event & City Guide. This essential companion booklet gives in-depth insights on what to expect at the shows and provides valuable information about this year’s venue and host - Messe Frankfurt, Germany. The Venue - Messe Frankfurt Linking the traditional with the modern, the Frankfurt exhibition grounds offer every imaginable facility for many different event and trade fair concepts. 11 multi-functional halls, covering over 570,000m², offer a modern and functional environment. Being located in the centre of Frankfurt’s business district, the exhibition grounds are never more than a short train ride from either the city centre or the international airport. The Events From the 30 September - 2 October 2008, Messe Frankfurt will open its doors to over 24,000 pharmaceutical decision makers from over 120 countries. These delegates will be travelling to Frankfurt for one thing and that is to experience CPhI, ICSE and P-MEC, the leading exhibition on pharmaceutical ingredients, outsourcing and machinery. The Host Frankfurt is known worldwide as the city of money, banks and the stock market. But even if your first view is drawn toward the skyline, this evidence of the world’s best architects is only one of many faces of Frankfurt. You can find calmness and tranquility, quiet alleys and courtyards, a varied nightlife and a rich cultural program. Frankfurt is certainly a place of contrasts!

Maps As with many cities, comprehensive free maps are available at all tourist information points. However, to get yourself acquainted with the city of business, a selection of various street and transport maps are provided at the back of the publication. FRANKFURT 2008 | INTRODUCTION

Welcome

CPhI (the Convention on Pharmaceutical Ingredients), now in its 19th year, is the world’s leading pharmaceutical trade exhibition and has established itself as the pharmaceutical networking place. Bringing together over 1,500 exhibitors from around the world who not only make APIs, excipients and intermediates but increasingly more diverse ingredients such as natural extracts, tissue media cultures and enzymes. The 2008 event will once again see a number of specialist pavilions on the floor plan to enable attendees to meet with companies from specific countries or who specialise in specific products. 6

In 2005, P-MEC debuted as a standalone event held alongside CPhI and ICSE and together they drew 20,000 attendees. There - and at the 2006 and 2007 editions in Paris and Milan - the response from both visitors and exhibitors was so overwhelmingly positive that it is fair to say that for a machinery and equipment supplier, P-MEC 2008 is ‘not a chance to be taken but an opportunity to be grasped’.

Want to meet the market leaders and innovators? During the three showdays each exhibitor is given the opportunity to showcase their company and innovations. This year ICSE (International Contract The specially created ‘Speakers’ Corner’ Services Expo) and P-MEC (Pharmaceutical facilitates an extra meeting place between Machinery and Equipment Convention), with exhibitors and visitors. over 250 exhibiting companies, are located This Event & City Guide offers an overview in Hall 4.1. ICSE offers such a range of of all essential information regarding Messe pharmaceutical outsourcing services that this Frankfurt, the city airports, transport and event, which also incorporates the BioTech Frankfurt centre; places of interest, culture Zone, is now well established as the one-stop and maps and is an invaluable source in the shop for outsourcing services. Companies lead upto and during the events. exhibiting can ensure products are tested, It just remains for me to wish everyone analysed, taken through clinical trials, visiting and exhibiting at CPhI, ICSE and packaged, marketed and distributed.

City Entrance

BACKGROUND

The City Entrance to the sprawling Trade Fair grounds is marked by Jonathan Borofsky’s sculpture ‘The Hammering Man’ and the pencil-shaped Messeturm (Trade Fair Tower). At a height of 256m and with 63 floors, this post-modernist skyscraper was, for many years, the tallest building in Europe until it was eclipsed by Frankfurt’s Commerzbank Tower. Other impressive structures within the fair grounds include the Torhaus, another significant example of post-modern architecture and the Festhalle (Festival Hall). Built at the start of the 20th century, the latter was once Europe’s largest dome-roofed building.

Linking the traditional with the modern, the Frankfurt exhibition grounds offer every imaginable facility for many different event and trade fair concepts. The third largest trade fair complex in the world covers 578,000 m²; 321,700 m² of this is covered exhibition hall space with a further 83,000 m² in the large ‘Agora’ open air area.

FACILITIES

Receptions CPhI, ICSE & P-MEC will use three main entrances to access the fair grounds – City, Torhaus and Hall 3 East. All these entrances have appropriate cloakrooms, WiFi hotspots and basic business and information facilities. Hall connections Although connected by a ‘free-to-roam’ hallway system, Messe Frankfurt is a vast exhibition ground and it is recommended that you arrive at the venue at the appropriate entrance to save any unwanted walking to reach the appropiate area. Please use the Torhaus Entrance if arriving by S-Bahn or the City Entrance if arriving by U-Bahn. If using the CPhI, ICSE & P-MEC shuttle buses, you will be taken to the Messe’s Hall 3 East Entrance. See maps on pages 10-11. Parking and hotels Follow signs for the Messe from the motorway and then drive to the new outdoor area called P11, providing 15,000 parking spaces. From there a free shuttle bus will take you to the registration area. Hotels, although busy during the CPhI, ICSE & P-MEC exhibition period, are in plentiful supply, with many being just a stone’s throw away from the fair grounds itself. Food Service Messe Frankfurt, like most other exhibition grounds, offers a large variety of eating places throughout the complex which will be open for the duration of the event. Service Centre Messe Frankfurt’s Business Centre provides a range of office services for exhibitors and visitors including PC workstations, internet connections, business card design and print, storage media, photocopying, faxing and just about any other business related service. Messe Frankfurt also has various wireless hotspots for public use that have a small charge. ORGANISER’S/CONTRACTORS’ OFFICES The offices hosting the show organisers, CMP Information, along with the event’s official contractors will be located on level 4C (level in between Hall 4.0 and Hall 4.1). Please refer to on-site signage to find the appropriate location.

By Road

Travelling to and from

The A5 motorway via the Westkreuz Frankfurt junction takes you directly to Messe Frankfurt. Follow the signs to ‘Messe’. Upon arrival, make your way to ‘P11’ (see plan), where there are 15,000 parking spaces located right next to the exhibition grounds. From there a free shuttle bus will take you to the registration area for the events. If you are travelling by a pre-arranged bus service, these will drop off at P3 (see plan). By Rail Frankfurt’s Hauptbahnhof (central station) has ICE, IC, and EC connections from all over Germany and Europe. The subway station below the Central Station provides the most direct and fastest connection to the ‘Messe’ stop by the Rhein-Main Public Transportation Authority (RMV) suburban (S-Bahn) and underground (U-Bahn) trains. • U-Bahn line U4 to Festhalle/Messe from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. This will take you directly to the fair ground’s City Entrance.

• S-Bahn lines S3-S6 to Messe from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof. This will take you directly to the fair ground’s Torhaus Entrance. By Air When you arrive at Frankfurt Airport, you are only 15 km away from Messe Frankfurt. Frankfurt Airport has two terminals (1+2). For the sake of greater clarity, these are divided into separate areas. Terminal 1 is divided into A, B and C, Terminal 2 into D and E. In Terminal 1 you will find Lufthansa and Star Alliance throughout the entire A area and in part of B as well. Several American and Asian airlines are based in Terminal 2, as many flights arrive here from the US and the Far East. British Airways and Air France are also located here. During CPhI, ICSE & P-MEC you will find a special trade fair information stand (Terminal 2, arrivals level) where staff will be on hand to give you assistance and advice. During CPhI, ICSE & P-MEC the Messe Frankfurt shuttle buses run directly from the Airport bus station in Terminal 1, bus stop 21 and Terminal 2, Exit E to Messe Hall 3 East Entrance. The cost of the journey is not included in your entrance ticket. The journey takes approximately 15 minutes and costs E6. FRANKFURT 2008 | THE VENUE » TRAVEL TO AND FROM

Arrival by U-Bahn (Station: Festhalle/Messe) will take you to the City Entrance (Eingang City). CPhI, ICSE & P-MEC registration is taking place at this entrance. However, we recommend that you arrive by S-Bahn (Station: Messe). This suburban train travel will arrive in the centre of the fairgrounds and therefore nearer the location of the events. If you arrive by U-Bahn, allow a 10-15 min walk from the City Entrance to the halls containing CPhI, ICSE & P-MEC. Both the U-Bahn and S-Bahn train lines depart from the Hauptbahnhof (central station) approx every 5 mins. Cloakrooms are provided by the venue and are located in convenient locations throughout the fair grounds. See map on page 11 for locations. As the first morning of registration can be a busy affair, particularly between 09.30 and 11.30, we would recommend that you consider arriving after 11.30 on the first day to help with the efficient flow of visitors to the shows and minimise delays.

FRANKFURT 2008 | THE EVENTS Âť REGISTRATION

Public Transport The public transit system in Frankfurt consists of several carriers who all utilise the same fare system. Therefore, one ticket is valid for a journey which may include several modes of transit run by different operators. The fares are paid in advance of travel at a ticket vending machine or on board a bus. There are no turnstiles or other controlling barriers - passengers therefore have responsibility for ensuring they have a ticket. Plain-clothed ticket inspectors are employed and carry out checks to ensure passengers have paid. If found to be travelling without at ticket, then they are required to pay an increased fare of e40. A trip within the central area of Frankfurt costs between e1.90 and e2.10 and a journey to the suburbs costs between e3 and e5 approx.

Essential info

For travel around the main Frankfurt city you will most commonly use a mix of these four systems; U-Bahn (underground trains), S-Bahn (suburban, rapid transit trains), Strassenbahnen (trams) and buses. Of these, you can mainly limit your travel to U-Bahn and S-Bahn as these will get you to most places within the city. These stations are clearly denoted by a blue ‘U’ or a red ‘S’ respectively. More information can be found at www.rmv.de or at the Tourist Information centre at Hauptbahnhof (central station). Taxis 22

Taxis charge set rates (metered) within the city. The initial charge is e2 then approximately e1.53 per km for the first 3km. Taxi stands can be found all around the city or you can hail one from the street. Taxi call centres: Taxi Zentrale (069) 250 001, Taxirufzentrale (069) 230 033. Road Rules Germany has strict drink driving laws, only allowing 0.5 milligrams of alcohol per millilitre of blood - stricter than many countries where the average is 0.8. Although the autobahns in Germany are not subject to an overall speed limit (the blue speed limit signs, usually showing 130, are suggested maximum speeds), some stretches of autobahn are covered by signed speed limits, which are mostly closely observed. Open roads are generally 100km/hr maximum speed and built-up areas are 50km/hr. More and more towns are adopting the priority to traffic coming from the right in the towns. If there is no yellow diamond at a road junction, you MUST give way to traffic from the right, even if you are on the major road. ATMs The fastest, easiest and cheapest way to get local currency is via an ATM (Geldautomat), drawing money directly from your home current account (savings accounts are not so easily accessed).

FRANKFURT 2008 | THE HOST » ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Credit Cards Eurocard, MasterCard and Visa are the most widely accepted – but note that many smaller businesses, including some restaurants, cider taverns and pensions do not accept card payment. As a rule, supermarkets do not accept credit cards therefore it is advisable to always carry some cash and a Maestro/Cirrus debit card along with your credit card. You can get credit card cash advances from ATMs but, unlike with purchases, interest usually starts accruing immediately. Tipping A service charge of 15% is included in the menu price in restaurants, bars, etc. all over Germany. Still, it is typical to ‘round up’ the amount to some more-or-less round figure. However, if you are paying for more than one person, you might go even higher. A rule of thumb is to add 3-5%, generally ending with a full Euro amount.

Safety

China (069) 7508 5545

Generally, all of Germany does not have a big crime problem. Cities are normally safe and even at night it is possible to walk home without the need to be afraid. Frankfurt is no exception to this general rule. Still, like in any western city, it is a good idea to watch your back at night when you are alone on the street. Frankfurt is Germany’s crime capital by a small margin, so there is some reason to be cautious about strangers approaching you (especially at night). Things most likely to happen are theft and robbery, especially in areas like the red-light district around Hauptbahnhof (drug-related crime might be most likely here) and in the area around Konstablerwache. Travellers shouldn’t be too credulous about apparently helpful strangers - fraud does happen every now and then. Telephones Coin-operated public phones are rare; far more common are card-operated phones. Telephone cards (Telefonkarten) can be bought at any post office and some shops such as bookshops or kiosks at railway stations. • The international code for Germany: +49 • The national area code for Frankfurt: 069 • Emergency Services: 112 • Police: 110 • Emergency Doctor: 19 292 • Dental Emergency Services: (069) 6301 6713 • Tourist Info Hauptbahnhof: (069) 2123 8800 FRANKFURT 2008 | THE HOST » ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Business Hours Banks usually open Mon - Fri 08.00 - 13.00, 14.00 - 16.00. They remain closed on Sat & Sun. Post Offices are usually open Mon - Fri 08.00 18.00, Sat 08.00 - 12.00. At airports and main train stations they may open longer. Post offices can also change currency. Museums are normally open Tues - Sun 09.00 - 18.00 although some do open Mondays. In Germany, there are no standard opening times for shops. Generally, most are open from 09.00 - 18.30 Mon - Fri and close at 14.00 on Saturdays (although the larger stores will almost always remain open on Saturday until around 20.00). Electricity and Outlets Germany is on 220V/50V cycles. To operate a 110V device you need a converter (most laptops and camcorders have this built in). To plug it in, you need an adaptor to Continental Europe’s two round pins. 24

Pharmacies & Medical Care Pharmacies (Apotheken) can be recognised by a red A sign and are well stocked, with expert staff. German health care is of a very high standard but is not free. In most cases your health insurance should provide the coverage you need. It’s sensible to take out medical insurance, and obtain the replacement to the E111 form, the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) in case of emergencies, even if your country has a reciprocal agreement with Germany.

Römerberg U4 & U5 Römer

MAIN Attractions

Kaiserdom U4 & U5 Römer

Near the archaeological park, where the ruins of a Carolingian fortress have been unearthed, stands the imperial cathedral, used for coronation of German kings from 1356 and of Holy Roman Emperors from 1562. The cathedral, dedicated to St Bartholomew and Charlemagne, was built during the 13th, 14th and 15th centuries. It has several priceless masterpieces of gothic art, including the magnificent 15th century Maria-SchlafAltar dating from the second half of the 15th century. The choir has original 14th century stalls; above these there is a fresco painted in 1427 which depicts scenes from the life of the cathedral’s patron saint.

The historical old town centre, including its splendid half-timbered houses, was rebuilt according to the original plans in 1986 following its complete destruction in the air-raids of the second world war. It now represents a classic example of the traditional half-timbered architectural style of times gone by. Every single house bears its own name. Sitting proudly in front of the Römerberg town houses are the Fountains of Justice. These bronze-figured fountains played an important role at coronation ceremonies where the whole square became a centre of celebration with food, wine and music being offered in a festival-like atmosphere. On the western side of the Römerberg stands the equally impressive Römer City Hall. This building has been the city hall (or Rathaus) for over 600 years. Finally, on the southern side of the Römerberg is the wildly gothic Alte Nikolaikirche (Old St. Nikolai’s Church). This small church, dating back to the 13th century, presumably served as a royal chapel for Stauferian nobility.Old Nikolai Church is the only protestant church in Frankfurt open 365 days a year: during summer from 10.00 to 20.00, during winter from 10.00 to 18.00, and during the Advent season until 21.00. www.alte-nikolaikirche.de

Alte Oper

Alte Oper (Old Opera) U6 & U7 Alte Oper The “Old Opera” was built at the height of the renaissance period, from 1872 to 1880. Like much of Frankfurt, the building was destroyed during the bombings of 1944. It was reopened after an extensive reconstruction in 1981. Today, Alte Oper serves as both a concert venue and congress centre. Alte Oper was designed by the architect Richard Lucae, the later director of the Berlin Architecture Academy. Frankfurt´s public population originally donated over 480,000 gold marks for its construction. The final construction costs amounted to over five million gold marks. Kaiser Wilhelm I inaugurated the opera house on 1880. After World War II, its remains were for many years popularly known as “Germany´s most beautiful ruin”. An initiative started by Frankfurt residents achieved the reconstruction of the building, which lasted from 1976 until 1981 and cost some DEM 300 million (e153 million). www.alteoper.de 29

Hauptwache (Guard House) S1 - S6, S8 & S9, U1 - U3, U6 & U7 Hauptwache

Built in 1730, the Hauptwache was originally a guardhouse. Later it was turned into a prison. Dismantled stone by stone during the construction of the town’s underground system, it was reassembled in its original form following the completion of the project in 1978. Since 1904 the Hauptwache has been a chic café and popular meeting place. Today, Hauptwache station serves as one of the most important crosspoints of the Frankfurt public transport system. Eight of nine S-Bahn lines serve the station as well as five of seven U-Bahn lines. The plaza has been reformed several times. Its current appearance is marked by a sunken terrace leading down to an underground pedestrian area with shops and the public transport station. Frankfurters call the sunken area ‘the Hole’ (das Loch). The Hauptwache plaza contains a number of different architectural styles. Apart from the baroque Hauptwache itself, the surrounding buildings are mostly new architecture because of the damage from the war. www.cafe-hauptwache.de Hauptwache

Paulskirche

Paulskirche U4 / 5 Dom/Römer The church of St Paul was opened as a Protestant church in 1789, coincidentally the same year as the French Revolution. In 1848-1849 it became the seat of the Frankfurt Parliament, the first publicly and freely elected body of Germany. The church started with the construction of the oval-shaped central church building in 1789. It was completed from 1829 to 1833, whereupon the organ loft was disconnected in 1833. Because of its centralised form and dome, it was chosen as the meeting place for the Frankfurt Parliament in the course of the German revolutions of 1848. In World War II, the church was nearly destroyed along with much of the Frankfurt Innenstadt. As a tribute to its symbolism of freedom and as the cradle of Germany it was the first building to be rebuilt in Frankfurt after the war and reopened on the 100th anniversary of the Frankfurt Parliament. In 1963, US President John F. Kennedy gave a major speech in the Paulskirche during a visit to Germany. Open 10.00 - 17.00, 7 days a week.

Sachsenhausen S3 - S6 Lokalbahnhof Old Sachsenhausen, with its apple wine pubs, the historic half-timbered houses and narrow alleys stands for Frankfurt cosiness and hospitality. No sojourn in Frankfurt is complete without a quick visit for a glass of the renowned ‘Frankfurt Ebbelwei’. From 1390 onwards, Frankfurt boasted a city wall with nine towers that also enveloped the district of Sachsenhausen. Sachsenhausen remained a village until the end of the 19th century, serving as Frankfurt´s fish, fruit and vegetable supplier. The area is best known for its vibrant nightlife sporting over two dozen bars, taverns and restaurants in the southern part’s old town. More information about ‘Ebbelwei’ Apple Wine can be found in the ‘Urban Life’ section.

Frankfurt skyline

One of Frankfurt’s sightseeing-highlights is a tour with the historical tram Ebbelwei-Express. This is the easiest and most fun way to enjoy the old town’s ‘Ebbelwei’. The tram ride caters for both individuals or groups and runs seasonally but mostly at weekends. For more information visit www.ebbelwei-express.com The Frankfurt Skyline S3 - S6 Lokalbahnhof Nicknamed ‘Mainhattan’ and ‘Chicago am Main’ because of its tall, futuristic buildings, Frankfurt is the only German city with a significant number of skyscrapers, meaning buildings at least 150 metres tall. There are ten buildings, with one more (OpernTurm, 168 m) currently under construction. The best place to view this unique skyline, day or night, is from the Alte Brücke bridge that links the old town of Sachenhausen with the central area of the Altstadt. Not only can you, from here, get a real sense of the dominance upon the skyline that the skyscrapers bring but you can also experience the stark contrast of old vs new with the Kaiserdom and St Leonhardskirche dominating the foreground view.

All manner of wildlife

From the tropics to the South Pole in a few hours. Frankfurt Zoo is renowned as one of the most attractive, pleasant and popular to visit in Europe. It has 3,200 animals of 600 species and a reputation for keeping them in conditions that resemble their natural environment as closely as possible. One of the zoo’s unique selling points is Grzimek House, where visitors can see nocturnal animals who’ve been fooled into thinking that it’s night-time during the day. There’s also the Exotarium, where insects, fish, reptiles and penguins are kept in their natural surroundings. www.zoo-frankfurt.de St Leonhardskirche U4 & U5 Dom/Römer The centre of medieval Frankfurt shifted from the Domhügel (Cathedral Hill) towards the western part of the city. The old Salvator Church was too far from the residences of Frankfurt´s citizens and thus they asked the future Kaiser Frederick II to grant them permission to erect a new church. The first church, consecrated in the names of the Virgin Mary and St George, is antiquated in its architectural style. The Roman basilica measured 25 metres in length, 16 metres in width and featured two towers on the east side, each approximately 30 metres tall. Aside from the two towers, two Romanesque portals still remain from the original structure. The larger of the two depicts the Virgin Mary, Jesus, St George and the apostles, John and Peter. In 1323, the church was gifted a relic of St Leonard. The late-Gothic chancel was built some time around 1425 and is known to be one of the most beautiful. In 1508, the von Holzhausen family had a smaller chancel added to the church. The front nave contains a replica of Leonardo da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’.

Shopping

Frankfurt is a modern, cosmopolitan city with a correspondingly wide range of shops to choose from. Affluent bankers and businesspeople ensure a steady stream of customers for luxury stores like Tiffany’s and Chanel, whereas foreign language bookshops and other specialist stores cater to the needs of a large resident foreign population. Best of all, you don’t have to go far to find what you want: in the inner city, trendy fashion boutiques rub shoulders with second-hand shops, while open-air markets are often just a stone’s throw away from modern shopping passages. Also, to make your shopping experience complete, there is an excellent choice of cafés in which to relax afterwards. Most of the city’s more exclusive shops are found in the area between Roßmarkt and the Alte Oper. Especially pricey are the noble boutiques in Goethestraße. Here you’ll find such names as Armani, Chanel, Tiffany and Gucci in what is Frankfurt’s modest version of New York’s Fifth Avenue and London’s Oxford Street. Other luxury shops can be found in Steinweg, Schillerstraße and Fressgasse. The latter is especially good if you are looking for gourmet foods and top quality wines.

Grosse Bockenheimer Straße is the proper name of this pedestrian street, one of the city’s liveliest thoroughfares, but Frankfurters have given it this sobriquet because of its amazing choice of delicatessens, wine merchants, cafés and restaurants. Food shops offer fresh or smoked fish, cheeses, delicious soups and a wide range of local specialties, including Frankfurters. In the summer you can dine alfresco. This charming pedestrian zone connects the Alte Oper square to the Zeil and is littered with designer shops and gourmet delis. SchweizerstraSSe U1 - U3 Schweizer Platz Sachsenhausen’s main shopping street is Schweizer Straße. Here you’ll find exclusive boutiques, lifestyle shops, cafés, bars, restaurants, delicatessens and cider taverns. Every summer in mid-July, the Schweizer Straßenfest is celebrated. This street festival is one of the largest and most entertaining in Frankfurt with live music, a fashion show and dozens of food stalls. Upmarket delis

A relaxed atmosphere

GoethestraSSe S1 - S6, S8 & S9, U1 - U3, U6 & U7 Hauptwache Small but very elegant, the Goethestraße is not shy in comparison to other international shopping boulevards. Seeming a bit like a gallery, the road between Opera and Rathenauplatz, being only a few hundred metres long, offers everything that excites the shopper: Haute Couture, Armani, Gucci, glittering jewellery or new writing utensils - nothing is lacking on this exclusive shopping strip. One rule applies to the Goethestraße: never go there without your credit card. Some examples of this exquisite consumer heaven include: Chanel (Goethestraße 10), Longchamp (Goethestraße 1), Salvatore Ferragamo (Goethestraße 2), Cartier (Goethestraße 11), Gucci (Goethestraße 27), Mont Blanc (Goethestraße 29) and Goldpfeil (Goethestraße 2-4). Producers’ Market Konstablerwache S1 - S6, S8 & S9, U4 - U7 Konstablerwache If you love fresh goods, you should take a look at the producers’ market at the Konstablerwache. Farmers from the surrounding region offer home made products, twice a week, from over 50 stalls. Whether conventional or organically grown - the selection is huge: fresh vegetables, meat, fish, cheese and even a good bottle of wine. Of course, you can have many meals right here: Bratwurst, Schnitzel on a hard roll, potato hash, fish patties or samples of regional delicacies ‘Ebbelwei’ and ‘Gri Soss’. Market days Thursday 10.00 - 20.00 & Saturday 08.00 - 17.00. www.erzeugermarkt-konstablerwacher.de Kleinmarkthalle S1 - S6, S8 & S9, U4 - U7 Konstablerwache It’s not only an inexpensive way to shop for groceries but also one of the most tempting. Fruit, vegetables, sausages, game, fish, dairy products, spices, flowers and specialities from all over the world are available here. Everything that’s fresh and exotic is offered here on two levels with 1500 m². The colourful atmosphere, exotic smells and sounds remind one of southern markets and are still an original part of Frankfurt. In order to control the market activities on the ‘Samstagsberg’ (Römerberg), the predecessor for today’s Kleinmarkthalle was built between the Hasengasse and Fahrgasse in 1879. After its destruction in World War II, today’s Kleinmarkthalle was built in 1954. It is located between the Hasengasse and the Liebfrauenberg with entries on both sides. Open 07.30 - 18.00 Mon - Fri, 07.30 - 15.00 Sat. www.kleinmarkthalle.de BergerstraSSe U4 Bornheim Mitte Take a breath of authentic Frankfurt life at Berger Street and enjoy the small-town atmosphere which coexists peacefully with the buoyant bar and restaurant scene in this street. As many people live in the four-storey townhouses of Berger Street, the shops here are rather food shops and small corner shops run by immigrants than big department stores. You will, however, also find some book shops (including many second-hand bookshops). After shopping, it is up to you: you either choose to eat in one of the numerous restaurants or you prefer to end up in an authentic apple wine tavern. FRANKFURT 2008 | THE HOST » SHOPPING

Eating & Drinking

Urban Life

Frankfurt can boast a huge range of cafés and restaurants catering to all tastes and pockets. The choice of food styles reflects the mix of people who live here; Greek, Thai, Indian, Spanish, American and more besides. For traditional Frankfurter specialities, the cider taverns are the best bet. Self-providers are well catered for by the local food markets and the food sections of the large department stores.

RESTAURANT CATEGORIES e = upto e10, ee = e10 - e20, eee = above e20 (average price, not including drinks). Eating Many restaurants open first for lunch around 12.00, then close again around 15.00. Most reopen for dinner at 17.00 or 18.00 and stay open till late. For breakfast or brunch, head for one of the city’s numerous cafés. Opening times vary quite a lot but around the railway station you are bound to find a place already open by 07.00 or earlier and elsewhere in town from 08.00. A restaurant’s Ruhetag, the day it is closed, is displayed by the door along with the menu. A tip for restaurants is to look out for the bargain priced ‘Mittagstisch’ (set menu) at lunchtime. Any establishment advertising ‘Gutbürgerliche Küche’ (simple home-cooking style) can generally be relied upon to serve good value. Such restaurants normally have a ‘Stammtisch’, a table reserved for regular customers. 58

Vegetarians will find that various Indian, Chinese or Thai restaurants will all provide a selection of non-meat dishes and that many cafes offer huge mixed salads as a main dish. Purely or mainly vegetarian restaurants include: • Naturbar e - U1 - U3 Eschenheimer Tor • Arche Nova ee - A more upmarket restaurant. S3 - S6 Frankfurt West • Tandure ee - Although not strictly vegetarian, this Turkish restaurant has a large selection of vegetarian dishes. S3 - S6 Lokalbahnhof Formal dress is rarely required in German restaurants except when dining in the very top locations. Especially in more upmarket restaurants, you may have to wait until you are shown to a table, otherwise, it’s usually okay to just seat yourself at any table which is empty. As for the menu, it is quite normal to just order a main course and to forgo either starters or dessert. Salads often come with the main course as a separate side dish. Tipping is not a must but customary for good service. Small sums are rounded off, larger amounts (over e30) might include a tip of around 5%. One other thing to bear in mind is that meat is measured in grams and not ounces so make sure you know your conversions! As a rough guide, a 340g steak is equivalent to about 12oz.

FRANKFURT 2008 | THE HOST » URBAN LIFE » EATING & DRINKING

Drinking The locals enjoy a glass of wine or mug of beer as much as they appreciate eating out. Most cafés and all restaurants serve alcoholic beverages and those places normally associated with just beer or wine such as ‘Weinstuben’ (wine bars) or ‘Biergärten’ (beer gardens), also offer at least simple meals. Frankfurt’s traditional drink is ‘Ebbelwoi’, a sour-tasting apple wine or cider that is best enjoyed in the taverns of Sachsenhausen. Local specialities Frankfurt’s cider taverns are good places to try the local specialities. Here you can enjoy traditional dishes such as eggs and potatoes with Frankfurter ‘Grüne Sosse’ (green herb sauce), ‘Frankfurter Rippchen’ (pickled pork ribs) served with sauerkraut and as a snack ‘Handkäs mit Musik’. The latter is a round curd cheese marinated in vinaigrette and served with onions. The famous Frankfurter sausage often appears on local menus as a snack or as a main dish served with sauerkraut or mashed potatoes. This smoked pork sausage has been around for over 500 years and only sausage makers from the Frankfurt region have the right to sell their product as ‘Frankfurter Würstchen’.

Entertainment & Nightlife Cool jazz clubs, even cooler discos, transvestite shows and philharmonic concerts, gay bars and blues bars, opera and caberet: the possibilities for a night on the town are limited only by one’s wallet or stamina. During the summer months numerous open-air events draw the crowds into town. The city’s pub and bar scene is colourful and varied. From some you can enjoys fantastic views over Frankfurt’s skyline, in others television screens keep you informed on the stock market or the latest soccer scores. The background music ranges from bar piano to jazz and electronic sounds - in many there is regular live music in the evenings. Those looking for a glass of wine in a relaxing atmosphere should head for one of the city’s ‘Weinstuben’. Stick to the inner city areas, as distances are short and the concentration of watering holes is good. Sachsenhausen is also a good choice, especially around the area of Altsachsenhausen. Here you’ll also find a good selection of Irish pubs. It’s not always easy to distinguish the city’s bar scene from its club and disco scene. In many cases you’ll find an establishment is bar, dance locale and even restaurant all rolled into one. In any case, there are plenty of places to choose from, though techno sounds tend to dominate the disco dance floors. Those who like it flash will find that Frankfurt has no shortage of notable venues; King Kamehameha and Präsidium 19/11 are just a couple of the better known. Most clubs and discos charge entrance, though a few are free. Some of the best dance venues are located in the central city area (around the main railway station and the Hauptwache), otherwise head for the eastern district of Ostend. 60

Fans of ballet, opera, classical music and theatre will also find Frankfurt city richly endowed. Important concerts take place at the Alte Oper while opera and drama are centred around the Städtische Bühnen on Willy-Brandt-Platz. The Bockenheimer Depot, home of the renowned William Forsythe Company, is the place to go for ambitious modern ballet. For English language theatre, check the English Theatre (Kaiserstrasse 34). The Gallus Theatre and the Internationales Theatre offer mixed programmes of theatre, music and dance. Without doubt, the best address for a variety of shows is the Tigerpalast in the inner city. As for cinema, the choice ranges from establishments showing the typical Hollywood blockbusters to small art house cinemas with more ambitious films. In most movie theatres, films are dubbed in German, though there are a few where they are shown in the original language with subtitles. Current English language films are shown at the Turm-Palast (Große Eschenheimer Strasse 20). Information on current events and entertainment is available in the tourist office’s free publication the ‘Frankfurt Woche’. More comprehensive listings (in German) are found in the listings magazine ‘Frankfurter’ journal and the weekly listings supplement ‘Plan F’ in the ‘Frankfurter Rundschau’ newspaper. On the internet check www.frankfurt-rhein-main.de. The local tourist offices will help when it comes to where and how to buy tickets.

Accommodation Compared to other places in the greater RheinMain region, Frankfurt cannot offer much really cheap accommodation, at least not in the central city area. Most of the roughly 2 million guests a year who stay overnight are there on business. For this reason, most of the accommodation offered in the city centre and near surroundings tends to be a little pricey, with room rates often increasing by upto 100% during times of main exhibitions.

Frankfurter Hof

Most hotels are found in the Hauptbahnhof area and inner city, though there is still a reasonable choice in the areas of Bockenheim and Westend, along with some good hotels in Nordend, Ostend and Sachsenhausen - all of which are relatively handy to the city’s attractions and fairgrounds. It pays to book well ahead for accommodation during an exhibition such as CPhI, ICSE & P-MEC. Hotels in Germany are graded according to a voluntary one-to-five-star rating, which conforms to international standards. Suggestions of the more interesting places to stay: 62

The Pure The Pure

The Pure is a design filled hotel with a clean and crisp atmosphere in the heart of Frankfurt only a ten-minute walk from the fairgrounds. Its former life as a textile factory leaves little trace on what’s now Frankfurt’s sleekest hotel. There’s nothing you’d call industrial-chic, no exposed brick or metalwork or funky old doors: this place is as smooth and white and cool as an eggshell. White marble, white leather, white lacquer - the celebrated local architect and designer Oana Rosen finds the button marked ‘futuristic’ and presses it repeatedly.

It’s immersive and the sheer dedication to the theme is admirable, with the desk staff done up in head-to-toe white, looking vaguely medical. Upstairs in the guest rooms you’ll find a touch of warmth breaking through in the form of wooden parquet floors and the odd splash of contrasting black, but still it’s a bit like sleeping inside a stylish and rather well-crafted cloud. There’s plenty of function to go around, from wireless internet and on-demand audio-video jukeboxes to more physical charms like down duvets and decadent bathrooms with glass-walled tubs. Meeting rooms are obligatory in businesslike Frankfurt and you’ll find a fitness room and a sauna as well. The Pure has no restaurant, just an appropriately chic and minimalist cocktail bar, but the location in the heart of the banking district means all the city’s best is close at hand. Niddastraße 86. Tel: (069) 710 4570. www.the-pure.de Villa Kennedy You’d expect the top-flight business hotels in Frankfurt, the financial centre of Germany, to be skyscraperish modern glass-andmetal affairs and quite often you’d be right. The Villa Kennedy, though, is something a bit different. Though it’s a high-end modern business hotel, like the other Rocco Forte hotels it’s a high-end modern business hotel inhabiting a thoroughly renovated historic building - in this case a distinctly un-skyscraperish century-old villa just south of the Main, on the residential side of Frankfurt, surrounded by museums rather than corporate headquarters.

Villa Kennedy

What you get then is the best of both worlds: the sedate pleasures of villa life, complete with courtyard and manicured gardens, along with all the comforts of the modern luxury hotel. It’s an expansion, not just a renovation, so guests have the choice of traditionally-styled rooms in the old villa, or more contemporary ones in the new addition. Either way, they’re spacious, stylish, and lacking no convenience. Business travellers will appreciate the extensive meeting facilities, and everyone benefits from the fullservice spa and fitness centre. The Gusto restaurant and the JFK Bar are for dealmaking, not scenemaking - which, in a hotel like this, is rather as it should be. Kennedyallee 70.

Taunus Region

The Taunus is frequently referred to as ‘Frankfurt’s living room’, a title earned because so many people choose to live in the green vistas of the Taunus Mountains but work in Frankfurt. The area is dotted with picturesque towns, many of them with excellent restaurants, interesting historical exhibits and entertaining leisure activities. The Taunus has developed over the past 50 years from a series of sleepy farming villages into prosperous towns, each with its own identity. The largest community in the Taunus is Bad Homburg with 52,000 residents; other prime locations include Königstein, Kronberg, Hofheim and Oberursel.

Nestled at the foot of the verdant Taunus Mountains, Bad Homburg is the most important town in the Hochtaunus district. Bad Homburg has a long and illustrious history that stretches back to the Roman Empire. In the mid 1800s, Bad Homburg developed into an internationally-fashionable spa town. A stroll through the Spa Park will remind guests of the elegance of the by-gone era. There you can see the famous spring waters, the Russian Chapel, the Thai Temple and the famed Bad Homburg Casino. Look up towards the hills and you’ll see the White Tower of the Count’s Palace rising majestically over the many cafés, restaurants and bars in the city’s old town. www.bad-homburg.de Königstein

Taunus

Königstein

Bad Homburg

Königstein is located at the foot of the Feldberg – the highest peak in the Taunus Mountain range. Considered one of the most exclusive communities in the Taunus area, Königstein is home to many of Frankfurt’s bankers. Looming over the historic village is the Königstein Castle, which was first built in 1215 but was partially destroyed by French troops in 1796. The castle today provides the backdrop for concerts and other cultural events. Other small communities that have been incorporated into Königstein include Falkenstein, Mammolshain and Schneidhain. www.koenigstein.de

Kronberg The jewell of Kronberg is undoubtedly the Schlosshotel, which was built by Empress Frederick - the eldest child of Queen Victoria of England and wife of the heir to the Prussian throne. Today, the Schlosshotel is one of the best hotels in the region with an authentic historic atmosphere. The restaurant is also a favorite not only of many locals but also out-of-town guests. Kronberg is considered one of the region’s most exclusive - and expensive - communities. The town has an excellent public transportation connection to Frankfurt - just 25 minutes on the S-Bahn to the main Frankfurt train station - and is therefore one of the locations of choice for the international community. www.kronberg.de

Kronberg

Hofheim Hofheim is increasingly becoming one of the leading communities in the Main Taunus region. Located equidistant between Frankfurt and Wiesbaden, Hofheim has a population of 41,000 residents that steadily rises every year. While it doesn’t have a castle like Königstein, Hofheim can boast a picturesque old town with halftimbered homes, numerous street cafés and quaint shops. The S-Bahn connection to Frankfurt is excellent, and many more international families now live here because of the proximity to the Internationale Schule Frankfurt ISF in nearby Sindlingen. Hofheim also offers nice leisure activities, such as the Rhein-Main Therme water park and the Hof Hausen Golf Club. www.hofheim.de

Hofheim

Oberursel Oberursel is the second largest town in the Hochtaunus district, with 43,000 residents. Not quite as exclusive as some of the other Taunus communities, Oberursel has its share of restored half-timbered houses in the historic centre. For the expatriate community, Oberursel’s great advantage is that it is home to the Frankfurt International School. Many parents choose to live in close proximity to FIS, thereby saving on commuting time and also allowing them to take full advantage of the many extra-curricular activities at the school. www.oberursel.de FRANKFURT 2008 | THE HOST » ESCAPES

Oberursel

Idstein Idstein is a quaint town of cobblestone streets and half-timbered houses with 25,000 inhabitants located between Limburg and Wiesbaden just off the A3 Autobahn. The former residency of the Nassau royalty, Idstein offers a range of day-trip attractions such as the medieval Hexenturm, historical remains of the Roman-built Germanic Limes and the ornate interior of the Unionskirche. If you are a golfer, you should take a look at the 36-hole Golfpark in Idstein which offers one of the most inexpensive clubs in the region. Idstein is also host to an annual jazz festival, which attracts thousands of visitors and more than 600 musicians every summer. www.idstein.de

Idstein

Darmstadt

The Rhein-Main region’s royal connection stretches all the way to Darmstadt, due south of Frankfurt. It was here that Queen Victoria’s grandson, the Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hessen, married his second wife, Eleanor, in 1905. To mark the occasion, the city bestowed the gift of the 48-metre-high Wedding Tower (Hochzeitsturm) on the couple. The Odenwald, with its softly undulating range of mountains, is well known as a weekend getaway. The Bergstraße, one of Germany’s smallest winegrowing regions, offers many wine festivals and culinary delights. www.darmstadt.de

Darmstadt

Hanau

The Brothers Grimm - Hanau

Hanau Birthplace of the Brothers Grimm, Jakob and Wilhelm and the start of the German Fairytale Route (Deutsche Märchenstraße), the town of Hanau Heidelberg weekend is a destination. Situated on the Main River, just 20 km east of Frankfurt, Hanau is one of the areas where the Huguenots settled in the 17th century. The French influence is most evident in the gardens of the Philippsruhe Castle, located on the outskirts of town in Kesselstadt. The 18th-century summer residence of the Earls of Hanau is one of the first examples of the Versailles influence in Germany. Not far away on the park promenade is located Wilhelmsbad, a huge leisure park that dates back to the 18th century. In the the summer, theatrical presentation of Grimm’s Fairytales are performed every year on an elaborate open-air stage in the park. www.hanau.de 69

Heidelberg Situated at the southern end of Germany’s famed Bergstraße, Heidelberg is a town that attracts nearly three million visitors each year. Heidelberg’s status as a major tourist site in Germany is deeply rooted in its cultural past. During the 19th century Heidelberg became the heart of Germany’s Romantic movement, whereby a surge of literary, artistic, and intellectual vigour filled the minds of its scholars and citizens. This epoch of German history is embodied in Heidelberg’s long and narrow Altstadt, where Germany’s oldest academic institution, the Ruprecht Karls University, sits 250 feet below the ruins of a massive Renaissance fortress. One out of five people living in Heidelberg is a student today, meaning that the city has a sense of youth and energy combined with cosmopolitan flair. www.heidelberg.de Heidelberg

Kaiserdom - Wiesbaden

Wiesbaden Elegant and beautiful, Wiesbaden is without a doubt one of the most attractive cities in Germany. Wiesbaden is sometimes referred to as the ‘Nice of the North’ and rightfully so – considering the many mansions, the historic Kurhaus, the Casino and the magnificent State Theatre. Wiesbaden has been well known as a great spa city since ancient times but it was during the mid 1800s that the city developed a reputation as an international and cosmopolitan spa city. At the time, J. W. von Goethe, Johannes Brahms and Fyodor Dostoyevsky, as well as various royal families frequented Wiesbaden. Today, Wiesbaden’s 27 hot, saline springs and its mild climate and park-like setting continue to make it a popular resort and conference centre and while Wiesbaden has a long and illustrious history, it is also the modern state capital of Hessen. 70

The Rhein River and wine are inseparably linked with Wiesbaden. Numerous producers of German sparkling wine (Sekt) are located in and around Wiesbaden. Nearby, the Rheingau winegrowing region, with its distinctive wines and culinary delights, also awaits discovery. Each summer, the Rheingau music festival highlights spectacular performances set against the backdrop of the historic local vineyards. Wiesbaden is also known for its elegant hotels. One of the focal points of Wiesbaden is the Kurhaus, an elegant concert hall and congress centre set in the midst of a beautiful park. At the nearby Casino, you can test lady luck in a spectacular setting. If you like to shop, head for the famous antiques quarter, elegant retail arcades, or the boutiques along Wilhelmstraße. And in the historic city centre, stroll along the cobblestone streets where small shops and boutiques are nestled between half-timbered houses.

Once the seat of the Prince-Electors of the Holy Roman Empire, today Mainz is the capital of the state of Rheinland-Palatinate. The city skyline is dominated by the cathedral (Dom), which is one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in Europe. Mainz Cathedral is predominantly Romanesque in style but later exterior additions over many centuries have resulted in the appearance of various architectural influences seen today Mainz is also a youthful university town, home to three universities. In the summer months, students can be seen lounging on beach chairs on the banks of the Rhein river. The city was bombed heavily during World War II, but the old part of the city retains its flair with broad open streets, spacious squares, boutiques, cafés, and wine bars. During Germany’s carnival season, Mainz attracts millions of visitors to its parades, parties and costume balls. Mainz is also the home of the man identified by Time magazine as the most important individual in the last millennium, Johannes Gutenberg, inventor of the moveable type printing press.
