Staufenmauer
The Staufenmauer was an old city wall of
Frankfurt am Main
, Germany.
As part of the
fortification of Frankfurt, it was built in 1180 under the Hohenstaufen rule to protect the city from attack and surround the present Altstadt.[1] When the city was expanded in 1333, the old wall became a victim of efforts to reorganize the city defenses.[citation needed

Today one can still see a small portion along the Fahrgasse, a part that was restored after the 18th century fire[]
