Opposite Galleria Kaufhof there is a street leading away towards the R\u00f6mer -Frankfurt&#8217;s most famous historic location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before the R\u00f6mer you reach a square with a fountainband&nbsp; a church on the left side and a cobblestone road. Locate the church with the string of shoe shops, jewelery shop at the churchwall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walk on that side of the pavement and follow the church building.<br>You turn into&nbsp; a smaller street called &#8220;Sch\u00e4rfeng\u00e4\u00dfchen&#8221; in which my clinic is located.
