Cool subculture: Frankfurt's first high-rise building is now home to a Japanese film festival and much more.
Frankfurt's first ever high-rise building can be found in Bornheim: the 33-metre-high building was built in 1924 as part of a soap and perfume factory. Until 1972, toothpaste, shaving soap and the famous Mouson cream were produced here.
Today, the expressionist clinker brick building with its jagged and triangular ornaments is a listed building – and has been used as a cultural centre since 1988.
The Künstler*innenhaus Mousonturm offers theatre, dance and music. Dance workshops and "thinking workshops" are also regularly organised here. One of the highlights of the year is the Nippon Connection – the largest Japanese film festival in the world with over 100 short and feature films.
The Mousonturm has become a trendy meeting place for Frankfurt's young subculture and also has a very nice "pub". In the bright, minimalist room or outside at the beer tables, you can enjoy vegetarian soups and snacks with a glass of cider or white wine from the Rheingau region.
