There are two large cities in Germany named "Frankfurt", but the more well-known one is "Frankfurt am Main" - a city on the Main river, about an hour south of Cologne on the west side of Germany. It is a huge financial center and is known as being one of the few cities that chose to completely rebuild instead of restore everything after the damage of the World Wars, which is why there are lots of modern, shiny, high skyscrapers (with rich businessmen flying by in their loud Mercedes sports cars.) But then you turn a corner and you are brought back to the old, European charm with the classic architecture and squares.

The only thing that would make this picture look more fake is a rainbow across the sky:
