Die Frankfurter Altstadt zwischen Dom und Römer weist wie kein anderes Areal der Stadt eine spannungsreiche und politisch hoch aufgeladene Baugeschichte auf: Angefangen mit dem Einzug der Moderne, als die neuen Verkehrsmittel Straßendurchbrüche durch die kleinteilige Bebauung der Altstadt erforderten, dem Siedlungsbau zur Zeit des Neuen Frankfurt bis zur nahezu vollständigen Zerstörung im Zweiten Weltkrieg. Die modernen Wiederaufbauplanungen in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren waren geprägt von Auseinandersetzungen darüber, ob die Architektur rekonstruiert oder modern wiederaufgebaut werden solle. In den 1970er Jahren baute Frankfurt auf dem Römerberg das Technische Rathaus und das Historische Museum im Stil des Brutalismus, in den 1980er Jahren folgten postmoderne Bauten und Rekonstruktionen. Seit 2013 werden nach dem Abriss des Technischen Rathauses weitere große Teile der historischen Altstadt neu errichtet. Dieses Buch erzählt die städtebaulichen Entwicklungen der Frankfurter Altstadt anhand exemplarischer Bauten und Bauprojekte. Dabei ermöglichen Blicke auf vergleichbare städtebauliche Entwicklungen in Deutschland und Europa eine Einordnung der spezifischen Frankfurter Situation. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Debatte um das Für und Wider von Altstadtrekonstruktionen sowie deren Instrumentalisierung für Identität und Tradition.

This publication accompanies an exhibition on Georgian architecture at the Deutsches Architekturmuseum (DAM) in Frankfurt am Main, which is the first of its kind in Germany. The catalogue examines the multi-layered processes of social and urban transformation, and the resulting architecture, which traces the country’s various different political periods, yet also forms part of an international context. The focus is on the new and old metropolis of the Caucasus: Tbilisi. The phenomenon of this capital city, with its history, heterogenous cultures, social stratifications, and architecture, is constantly being redesigned and restaged by different protagonists. A site for the demolition of the Old, a factory of the New, and an emerging, chaotic, confusing, and fascinating place in search of itself within its traditions, bonds, and hopes – Tbilisi is a hybrid city.

Text in English & German. Johannes Peter Hölzinger studied architecture at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main from 1954 to 1957. After a residency fellowship at the Deutsche Akademie Villa Massimo in Rome he founded a "planning association for new forms of the environment" in 1965 together with Zero artist Hermann Goepfert, who has since died. One of the most successful results of his work with Goepfert was a new design for the Schloßpark in Karlsruhe on the occasion of the Bundesgartenschau in 1967, which won a major German architectural prize, the Hugo-Häring-Preis. From 1991 until his retirement in 2002 Hölzinger directed the art and public-space course at the Akademie der bildenden Künste in Nuremberg. Individualistic and oppositional in comparison to other post-World War II architectural achievements, the design of Hölzinger's buildings is very distinctive. The playful elements of Postmodernism are as alien to his work as the functionalism of New Building. Because of his association with Hermann Goepfert, Hölzinger is much more closely connected with the art scene of his time. The integration of art and architecture is a unique feature of his buildings. If we try to assign a category to this "object architecture" (a term he coined himself), we will find less overlap with architecture than with fine art. From the very beginning Hölzinger saw architecture as an artistic discipline. Light kinetics offered him important new perspectives. Lighting design and the resulting colour changes of white walls play a vital role in his work.
