Frankfurt - City of Cultures and Religions

No university in Germany is located in a city more naturally conducive to Religion in Dialogue than the University of Frankfurt-on-Main.

Long before the University of Frankfurt was founded, the city already enjoyed a long-established tradition of openness and tolerance towards foreign visitors, having been a trade fair centre for centuries. Frankfurt today has lost none of that cosmopolitan vitality, as demonstrated for instance by the International Book Fair held here every year. Almost one in three residents of Frankfurt originates from outside of Germany. Cultures, traditions and religions co-exist in a distinctly amicable spirit that can only be described as exemplary. Religion in Dialogue both draws inspiration from that multicultural setting, and helps nurture it.

Since Frankfurt-on-Main (along with Leipzig) is home to the German Library, its research facilities can accurately be described as second to none anywhere in Germany.

For anyone contemplating a visit to Frankfurt, travel to and from the city need be the least of their concerns. Frankfurt Airport is Germany's busiest, offering national and international connections to and from just about anywhere.

And last but not least, no one considering a longer stay in Frankfurt need fear the anonymity of the big city. Frankfurt, though a highly international and metropolitan centre, remains neatly sized, with 650,000 inhabitants. This is a city where one can quickly feel at home.
