Experiences with Meyer & Söhne Property Rental Company

Hello everyone,

I am about to sign a contract for an apartment (old building) managed by Meyer & Söhne. Does anyone have experience with that company and can advise?

I also uploaded a draft contract below, I see many clauses excluding their liability for most of the things. Is that normal? anything very unusual that I should take care about?

Thanks a lot for any advice or opinion offered

Wer bei der Stadt hat eigentlich …

… diese seelenlose Scheiße von Gebäude genehmigt zu bauen? Das sieht ja furchtbar charakterlos aus, wie in einer chinesischen Megacity in Windeseile hochgezogen. Oder sehe nur ich das so? p. s. Ist im Ostend

Wohnen in Langen für Familien

Ich weiß ist nicht direkt Frankfurt, aber nahe genug dass es hoffentlich ok ist hier zu posten ;)

Wohne mit meiner Familie (m43, f44, Sohn 6, Tochter 3) in Sachsenhausen aber wollen uns vergrößern. Leider hier im Umfeld nicht wirklich möglich…

aktuell schauen wir uns nach Objekten im Umland um, dabei haben wir etwas nette jn Langen entdeckt. Gibt es andere Familien die hier leben und ein wenig berichten können? Woe schaut es mit Schulen/Kindergärten und allgemein Lebensqualität aus?

Bin über jede Erfahrung / Feedback dankbar :)

Nacht der Museen Tips

Hi everyone,

I'm going to be heading to the Nacht der Museen in Frankfurt tonight and am really looking forward to checking out some of the museums. The only thing is that I am somewhat overwhelmed by the huge selection of different venues to choose from. I wanted to ask if anyone here (that has potentially visited this event before) has some tips regarding how to structure the night properly. Kinda a date thing as well.

Any tips would be appreciated!

Frankfurter quirks

Dear all, I’m living in Frankfurt already for few years, but I have learned about the Stute Jenny once it was in the news that the horse died, so I never could see her wander Fechenheim. I learned about Bahnbabo only when he started running for the office.

I’m wondering, how many other Frankfurt quirks are out there and maybe if you could share anything unusual that is a ” common knowledge “, but still you only know about it if you know about it

Frankfurt authentic food gift

Hello! I'm looking for some help to buy a Frankfurt authentic food gift for a friend visiting this weekend (I have to buy it on Saturday morning)

One idea I had was to get Bethmännchen, but not sure where I can get them exactly in a gift packet. I have only seen them in cafes.

Other than that does anyone have another suggestion? Open to that too. If the packaging looks like a souvenir even better.

Thank you!!

Regarding Blue card application in Frankfurt

Hey Guys, I wanted to ask you all about the appointment for EU Blue card in Frankfurt once you’ve submitted the application online. I have received a mail just after submitting the application but the latest appointment date there is 3 months from now. Do the office people give another date of appointment after they are done reviewing the application or is it the final date?

Kennt jemand einen Stand, bzw. Geschäft mit sehr gutem Obst?

Am besten irgendwo in Sachsenhausen. Ich finde Obst ist immer auch manchmal auf dem Markt ein totaler Glücksgriff, dort manchmal aber auch krass überteuert und am Ende dann trotzdem Ware aus dem Großmarkt die man auch bei Rewe bekommt. Ich hätte da gerne so einen trusted Shop wie Kramer bei Seinfeld.

Stuff to see and do 23-25.5.?

Hei Frankfurters! A work group of ours (9 people) are spending our annual office getaway in Frankfurt, arriving on Thursday 23rd and leaving on Sunday. Any recommendations are appreciated! Special thanks for something only locals know and what couldn't be found on tourism websites. Must see bars? Restaurants? Underground raves? Cafes? River cruises? We are open for anything :)

Where do you find out about events?

I’ve been living here for a few years and feel like I only find out about good concerts/ fests/ cool events after the fact - usually l on social. I look at showbulls on the street, check events calendars like Journal Frankfurt & go directly to concert venue’s own sites but always find them lacking. Where do you look?

Events or a night out

Hello there,

I’m staying in Frankfurt for 3 days with two friends. We’re all 23 years old and wanted to know any nice places to visit in the evening. We like house/hiphop/jazz or drum n bass.

Are there any events this weekend with these genres of music?

Also we went outside tonight and just walked through some parts of Frankfurt and we even went to Sachsenhausen and saw a lot of bars in just one street. We assume that in the weekends it would be crowded, but is it really?

Thankyou in advance!

Road trip visit

Hi all, I hope you are doing well.

I just heard that I will do a road trip tomorrow where we will go to frankfurt, munich, Zürich, Lyon, and back home to the Netherlands. I just saw that parking at both the hotel and on the street is quite expensive. I saw that a P+R might be a good option such as the Haus Borsigallee but I have a doubt.

If I arrive in the evening 23:00 and park there, how will it work? How do I prove that I went by public transport to the city center? Can I keep my car there on till Sunday? Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks from your neighbour!

Card game Shop with a live owl?

Ok so a buddy of mine told me of a card game shop (specifically: magic the gathering) in/near frankfurt where the owner has a living and breathing owl?!

Urban myth, huge misunderstanding and drunk fantasies or a real thing?

Looking for hidden gems to buy a (leather) jacket

Hi, not sure if this really fits the subreddit but I figured I have the most chance to get some tips here.

I am looking for some shops where I can find a leather jacket for myself (25F, 160cm small). I've been to frankfurt (Zeil) a few times and checked some of the bigger/known shops, but couldn't find anything fitting for me. I was wondering if there are some hidden gems (not necessarily in the city center), which you can recommend. As in every big city, there are probably hundreds of small shops you will never see or hear about. Budget around 0-800€.

Big thanks in advance ☺️
