Institute for the History of Frankfurt (Institut für Stadtgeschichte Frankfurt) (Germany)
The Institute can look back to 580 years of its own history. It is among Germany’s biggest municipal archives and the oldest cultural institution in Frankfurt. Known originally as Stadtarchiv (City Archives), it was renamed Institute for the History of Frankfurt in 1992, aiming not only to preserve the city’s heritage but also – as an equally important function – to acquire and convey Frankfurt’s history.
