Hi all,
We have 12 hours between flights on Frankfurt airport. Just want to know whether there are showers available on the airport for travelers who want to freshen up.
Thanks,
Theo
A few years ago I used the shower at the Frankfurt airport, but I wanted to be sure they were still avaialble. A quick check of the airport's website confirms it. Showers are located in Terminal 1, transit zone
Main part of the Concourse B, Level 2 next to the Duty Free Shop (to the left of the B 30 ff. gates) Price: 6 euros (8 U.S. dollars), include towel, foot mat, shower gel and hairdryer.
Here is the website: http://www.frankfurt-airport.com/cms/default/dok/355/355955.bathroomshower.html
There's definitely showers there - I used them only 2 weeks ago :) There didn't seem to be many showers but the room I got was pretty spacious with a big shower, sink and toilet. There is a dispenser on the shower wall of "2-in-1" shower gel and shampoo and I didn't get a foot mat but the towel was big and fluffy:) €6 is a bit steep but worth it to feel a bit more alive after a long flight.
Strangely enough, I had been to Frankfurt a few times many years ago and missed the Römer. Luckily for me, I was in Frankfurt at Christmas time more recently and it would have been impossible to miss the Christmas market at the Römer... the scent of mulled wine was a magnet.
Then I saw it in summer this year, and it's fun too. (I might be back with more soon, for this page I mean)
Georg Kolbe (1877-1947) was one of the most important sculptors in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century. His Beethoven memorial stands in the public park which occupies land formerly used for Frankfurt's main defensive wall - it's roughly in front of the Deutche Bank towers.
Kolbe created his Beethoven figures (honoring the composer's genius) toward the end of his life, and in fact it was cast in 1948, after the sculptor's death (and after the end of World War II).
In Germany, a 16% value-added tax (Mehrwertsteuer - MwSt) is already reflected in the prices of most goods and services; the MwSt rate on books is 7%. Tourists living outside the European Union are eligible for a refund for most of the tax paid on gifts or souvenirs. Make sure you get a Tax-Free form from the store at the time of your purchase. This form should be filled out with your receipt attached. At your final departure from the European Union you must show the completed forms and the items you purchased to customs authorities who will stamp the documents. (Do not put the corresponding items in your checked luggage.) You can then claim your refund immediately through the private company Europe Tax Free Shopping, which has offices at all airports, major road borders and ferry stations.
If you forget to collect your refund immediately, you can also mail your forms, with proper customs stamps, to Europe Tax-Free Shopping Processing Center, Trubelgasse 19, 1030 Vienna, Austria.

like green indian curry paste for example..that's what i bought that day...:P
Ever since the publication of C.P. Snow's The Two Cultures some forty-five years ago, there has been at least a lot of lip-service given in academic circles to the need for improved communication between the sciences and the humanities.
With this concern in mind, I have never understood why the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University decided to banish its natural science departments to this remote windswept hillside on the northern outskirts of Frankfurt.
The first building you see when you come up the hill is the Chemistry Building. Off to the left is the Biozentrum for the biological sciences and a bit further on is the Max Planck Institute, which is a very prestigious institution and always good to have nearby. Beyond that there is a large new building under construction which will be the future home of the Physics Department.
Addresses:
Marie-Curie-Str. 11 (Chemistry) or 9 (Biozentrum).
To get here:
If your bicycle has a flat tire or something, you could always take the subway U1, U2 or U3 to Heddernheim and change there to the number 26 bus.
