Sachsenhausen (Frankfurt am Main)

It is located south of the Main river and borders the districts of Niederrad and Flughafen to the west and Oberrad to the east.Unlike Frankfurt's own historic city center (the Altstadt) which burned to the ground after British bombing in 1944, Sachsenhausen's old town is partly preserved.The main street of Sachsenhausen is the Schweizer Straße, a cosmopolitan boulevard with bars and two of Frankfurt's most traditional cider houses, Zum gemalten Haus and Wagner.Ciderhouses that produce their own "Apfelwein" (apple wine) can be identified by the presence of a wreath of evergreen branches hanging outside the location or a similar image included on their signpost.Orchards of the Sperling apple can be seen across the countryside and, reputedly, local law requires that Apfelwein be the cheapest alcoholic beverage on sale in any public house.
