Science City – Riedberg

State-of-the-art architecture meets hi-tech. With views of the city skyline from Frankfurt’s newest district Riedberg, it is possible to enjoy the fresh air blowing into the city from the Taunus mountains. Since 2004, the area has meanwhile been developed with modern residential properties and a complete set of infrastructure for a population of over 10,000: from children’s day nurseries and schools to the underground railway stations and bus stops to the churches, retail amenities, medical centres and restaurants – this is a lively district with short distances. Riedberg offers a well-balanced mix of living and working with the many parks and public open spaces and a significant sports and leisure scene. Daniel Libeskind’s VERVE is located right in the centre of everything, directly next to the park.

The central pivotal point of Science City Frankfurt-Riedberg is the Goethe-University. This now concentrates all its natural science faculties on its campus at Riedberg. There are also a number of renowned research institutes such as the Max-Planck-Institut für Biophysik (biophysics), the Max-Planck-Institut für Gehirnforschung (brain research), the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS) and globally active technology companies which have become established here.
