A banking city with a medieval skeleton and an Enlightenment conscience. Frankfurt's most distinctive profession is banker at more than ten times the global rate — the Rothschild and Bundesbank shadow — alongside an unusually thick column of art historians, chemists, authors, and academics, the legacy of both the city's free imperial-city scholarly tradition and IG Farben. Goethe was born here in 1749, Anne Frank in 1929, and the 18th century already carries a surprisingly heavy share of the bench.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Frankfurt am Main during each.
