The still image shows a massive historicist sandstone building featuring a distinctive round tower and a broad bridge arch spanning a busy street. Below the arch, automobiles and pedestrians are visible, indicating a major inner-city traffic artery. The richly articulated façade with arcades, bay window structures, and crenellation motifs points to the Neo-Renaissance and Neo-Gothic architecture of the late nineteenth century. In the film’s context, this shot represents the city architecture of Frankfurt am Main as a station on the Germany journey. The building conveys to the international cinema audience the image of a representative German metropolis with a historically developed city center.
