Ostend (Frankfurt am Main)

The Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium (abbreviation: HvGG; English: Heinrich von Gagern Gymnasium) is a Gymnasium with a focus on the classical humanities and modern languages in the Ostend city district of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Founded in 1880, the Heinrich von Gagern Gymnasium enjoys a reputation for academic excellence in the greater Frankfurt area. It is one of only a few schools which prepare students in 12 instead of the usual 13 years for the state-wide university preparatory examination, the Abitur, and its students consistently achieve the highest average grade among Frankfurt's secondary schools. The Heinrich von Gagern Gymnasium emphasizes classical education in ancient and modern languages. Is one of only two schools in Frankfurt that teach Latin and ancient Greek.

Dr. Hoch's Konservatorium – Musikakademie was founded in Frankfurt am Main on 22 September 1878. Through the generosity of Frankfurter Joseph Hoch, who bequeathed the Conservatory one million German gold marks in his testament, a school for music and the arts was established for all age groups. Instrumental to the foundation, prosperity and success of the conservatory was its director Joachim Raff who did most of the work including setting the entire curriculum and hiring all its faculty. It has played an important role in the history of music in Frankfurt. Clara Schumann taught piano, as one of distinguished teachers in the late 19th century, gaining international renown for the conservatory. In the 1890s, about 25% of the students came from other countries: 46 were from England and 23 from the United States. In the 1920s, under director Bernhard Sekles, the conservatory was far ahead of its time: Sekles initiated the world's first Jazz Studies (directed by Mátyás Seiber) and in 1931 the Elementary Music Department. Dr. Hoch's conservatory offers instruction in the Music Education for Youth and Adults (ANE) program, the Elementary Music Department (Basisabteilung), and the Pre-College-Frankfurt (PCF) program, which provides preparation for future studies at a Hochschule or conservatory. There are also Ballet, Early Music and New Music departments. The following qualifications are available: Bachelor of Music in Performance and Pedagogy in all instruments, voice, music theory, composition, performance and Elementary Music Pedagogy.

The Frankfurt Zoological Garden is the zoo of Frankfurt, Germany. It features over 4,500 animals of more than 510 species on more than 11 hectares. The zoo was founded in 1858 and is the second oldest zoo in Germany, after Berlin Zoological Garden. It lies in the eastern part of the Innenstadt (inner city). Bernhard Grzimek was director of the zoo after World War II from 1945 until 1974. The Frankfurt Zoological Society (FZS) was founded in 1858 by citizens of Frankfurt to establish the Zoological Garden, which it operated until the First World War.

The Großmarkthalle (Wholesale Market Hall), in Ostend (East End), Frankfurt am Main, was the city's main wholesale market, especially for fruit and vegetables. It closed on 4 June 2004 and the building now forms part of the Seat of the European Central Bank. It is considered a major example of expressionist architecture.

The seat of the European Central Bank (ECB) is an office building complex in Frankfurt, Germany. It comprises a twin-tower skyscraper and the former Wholesale Market Hall (Großmarkthalle), with a low-rise building connecting the two. It was completed in 2014 and was officially opened on 18 March 2015. The ECB is required by the Treaties of the European Union to have its seat within the city limits of Frankfurt, the largest financial centre in the Eurozone. The ECB previously resided in the Eurotower and, as its duties increased due to countries joining the Eurozone, in three further high-rise buildings nearby - the Eurotheum, Japan Center and Neue Mainzer Straße 32–36, the former head office of the Commerzbank.

Uhrtürmchen (lit. 'clock turret') is a protected monument in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, located at the corner of Friedberger Anlage near the Zoo. It is one of only two remaining clock towers in the city, the other being located in Bornheim, and is the oldest surviving one, having been first erected in the 19th century. Today the tower serves as a popular tourist attraction, as well as a meeting point for people in the city.The clock was designed by architect Alexander Linnemann and endowed in 1894 by the former Ostend-Verein, an organisation consisting of tradespeople, in a primarily Jewish part of the city at the time. Following the removal of many other former clock towers at locations like Kaiserstraße and Opernplatz, this then became the tallest and most decorated clock tower left in the city. The tower survived the destruction of the city during the Second World War but fell into a poor condition over time. During the 2010s, a campaign to finance the restoration of the clock tower began, supported primarily by the city cultural department and a local organisation called Freunde Frankfurts (friends of Frankfurt). The restoration of the clock cost approximately €150,000, of which €25,000 came from the cultural department, €15,000 from the municipal council for said district, €20,000 from an anonymous donor, and €90,000 from fundraising efforts from the Freunde Frankfurts.After being deconstructed and restored in Thuringia, the clock was returned and officially inaugurated before a crowd on 26 March 2015. The original design has been maintained, which shows the base of the nine-metre high tower covered in sheet metal and adorned with coats of arms. On top of the clock base itself is a street lantern with a crown atop, upon which a knight holding a flag extended vertically stands. A few years later, citizens also began to push for the smaller clock tower in Bornheim to be cleaned up and cleared of graffitied articles, which was completed in 2019 by the local waste management authority.
