Featureless city. Frankfurt. Insight from outside
The fifteen papers in this volume discuss specific traits of Frankfurt, Germany: her being from other cities; how Frankfurt stimulates a regional consciousness; the local character of Frankfurt inhabitants; what the city stands for in the world; the city in TV detective films, and in detective stories; how the vicinity sees Frankfurt; changes and people of the city, and portraits of individuals. The stress, or focus, is not on how Frankfurters see themselves but how the city is seen by others, and what kinds of feelings the Frankfurt evokes, why this city is not ’loved´ but instead inspires ’respect´ To find out about these questions the authors concentrate on emotional reactions in life histories of people living outside of Frankfurt.
Keywords: Frankfurt seen by others, image of Frankfurt, inhabitants of Frankfurt
