The still shows the front facade of the Old Opera House in Frankfurt am Main, erected in 1880, with its characteristic three-part portico, the round-arched windows of the main floor, and the gable inscription. In the foreground on the right are bronze figures of a monument on the Opera Square; bushes and trees of the plaza layout structure the image. In front of the building a streetcar is visible in motion, documenting Frankfurt’s urban everyday life. In the travel film, this shot represents Frankfurt as a major city with representative cultural architectural heritage. The image combines cityscape, architectural landmark, and traffic routine into a typical city portrait of the 1930s.
