Frankfurt - Römerberg 
Southeast of the Paulskirche in Frankfurt is the Römerberg, an irregularly shaped square with the Justice Fountain (Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen) in the center. Reconstruction of the square, which suffered severe destruction during the Second World War, was completed in 1986, with a new "Kulturschirn" (leisure and cultural zone - schirn being an old Frankfurt word for the open-fronted shops that were once a common feature of the old town).
