History
Historically, the Gallus is the former gallows field west of the medieval city limits of Frankfurt. The name derives from the Galluswarte (actually gallows waiting) since one of the four medieval towers of the city warden. With the Holy Name of the Gallus district has nothing to do originally, but the name was in the late 18th Century converted to take to the area the dubious reputation. A newly-built Catholic church in 1905 in this neighborhood is also dedicated to St. Gallus. Historically, the district is a mixed area. In addition to production and trade played a major role in the transport system, the abandonment of the freight yard there but lost in importance. Still a landmark built in 1880, in contrast, Frankfurt Central Station. In June 2006, the town council on the initiative of the Gallus Group of the Greens voted unanimously to continue to perform as the official designation only the name Gallus and to waive the additional quarter, on the grounds that such a designation long corresponds to common usage. On 3 April 2007 this decision was officially implemented.
Arts and Culture
The cultural sites are found in the gall off the main thoroughfare Mainzer Landstrasse. Perhaps most famous is the Gallus Theater in Kleyerstrasse (Adlerwerke), which both established ensembles and freelance artists and groups provides a stage. Also for his children's theater program, it is known far beyond the district boundaries. There are also several independent initiatives - the district Koblenzerstraße initiative is an example. In addition to cultural events and a bicycle repair shop, there are several other projects to help design and revitalization of the neighborhood. With Adlerwerke and central station is the Gallus two groundbreaking functional buildings of the industrial age. In parallel, under the program, the residential buildings of New Frankfurt Hellerhof created by Ernst May, the machines of this age are preserved by the Technical Hochhut collection and the public. Still to this day in many places in the district remained visible through the minting industry culture. The Henry Street is following the demolition of Fire Station 2 in Nordend with the fire station Gallus the oldest still in use fire station in Frankfurt.
