Meying I - Meying an der Atter
Willkommen in Meying an der Atter!
This german-styled City is my first city-journal. It is principal based on Frankfurt am Main, which is mostly known for it's airport and financial district. But just like Frankfurt, Meying has much more to show. So let's have a little trip arround some of the city's landmarks.
We start at the historic center where you can see the Dom (cathedral) and the Altes Rathaus (old city hall). As you can see its just a stone's throw from the river Atter, which had been canalized in the 19th century.
Western from the historic Center, we have the financial district called Bankenstadt. Meying is one of less european cities that have a real Skyline. These are just some of the medium large skyscrapers.
Ways are short in Meying, and the Zentralstation (central station) is just some hundred meters away from the skyscraper-centre. It was finished in 1888 and was a dead-end station untill the whole got tunneled for the subway in the seventies.
In the northwest of the city we have the Messebezirk (fair grounds). Meying is known for many fairs like the book fair or the motor show. The 250 meters tall Messehaus, which you can see on the right, was finished in 1990 and contains offices.
At last we are going to visit the district of Kernheim in the northeast. For many centuries, Kernheim was a independent town out of the city walls. But when Meying growed, it enclosed Kernheim so that it became part of the city. You can also see the Stadion am Kernheimer Hang, which is the home of FSV Meying-Kernheim, the smallest of three professional football-clubs in Meying.
This was our little trip through Meying. I hope you enjoyed and would be happy about a comment.
