The modern city of Frankfurt am Main - also known as "Bankfurt", "Mainhattan" or "The Big Äppel" - is Germanys fifth largest city and the countrys financial and business centre. It is home to the European Central Bank, the German Federal Bank and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. It is also Germany’s premier traffic hub and home to one of the world’s busiest airports and largest rail terminals. In the Holy Roman Empire, Frankfurt was an imperial city, subordinate only to the Holy Roman Emperor himself, not to a regional ruler. Although its major historic landmarks were largely destroyed in World War II, those reconstructed to their former glory include the Roemer, the Old Opera House, the Hauptwache and the Goethe House, which are all worth seeing. Further points of interest include the Senckenberg Natural History Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. Culinary specialties of Frankfurt are of the more hearty variety and include wurst, kraut, green sauce and apple wine.
