Staufer and Toll Tower

The Toll Tower is part of the old HMF building. Inside, visitors can enjoy a historical and contemporary panorama of life on the Main River, whcih was once used by the Hohenstaufen dynasty to reach the city. Thanks to a spectacular archaeological find, a Staufer quay, the "Stauferhafen", can also be visited in the museum. The city of Frankfurt was the place of residence and coronation. The museum includes original parts of buildings from the Staufer period, and the permanent exhibition housed there illustrates life in medieval Frankfurt.
