There are few shopping streets in Germany where the range of goods on offer and the ambience match as well as in Taunusstraße, which was built between 1880 and 1914 with its Art Nouveau and Belle Époque façades. Spared from war damage and demolition campaigns to this day, Taunusstraße today presents itself architecturally almost as it did 100 years ago. In between, numerous modern stores and antique stores, bars, clubs and a wide variety of restaurants blend into the charming streetscape.

This uniqueness is also reflected in the Taunus Street Festival, which has been celebrated on the first weekend in September for several years. Here, visitors can discover the merchants' offerings and indulge in culinary delights.
