His photographs are a journey through time. Carl Friedrich Mylius (1827-1916) shaped the image of Frankfurt like no other photographer. From the Zeil, the Eschenheim Tower and the Goethe monument to the Römer and the banks of the Main, he captured the city's most famous sights. This made him a pioneer of architectural photography more than 150 years ago. The Städel Museum is dedicating its first major solo exhibition to Carl Friedrich Mylius with around 80 of his works.
