Lichtenstein House
Lichtenstein House, frequently called just Lichtenstein or Little Roman, was a historical building in the Altstadt of Frankfurt am Main and has an interesting architectural history, which combines the Gothic and the Baroque style. It was located in a residential block of the Römerberg (lit., “Roman Mountain”), south of a building called Römer (lit., “Roman”). The address was Römerberg 11.

While it was a popular trade fair in the Middle Ages, it became known as a treasured lookout and a venue of the European court societies in celebration of the coronations of Roman-German kings and emperors which took place at the Römerberg in the Early Modern Age. In the first half of the 20th century, Lichtenstein was one of the hubs of the art scene in Frankfurt.

In March 1944, the Lichtenstein House was nearly completely consumed by fire after the bombing of Frankfurt by the Allies of World War II. However, the mostly intact enclosing walls were not demolished until 1946 by a storm. Shortly afterwards, the building was rebuilt in a modern aesthetic, so that it now has to be considered among the lost historic monuments of Frankfurt's Altstadt.
