The Westend area of Frankfurt contains the two Stadtteile of Westend-Nord und Westend-Süd. The Westend with its Wilhelminian style buildings is a beloved residential quarter. Many old villas serve as offices for law firms and companies of the financial community.

Along with the Bahnhofsviertel, Nordend and Ostend, both Stadtteile are part of Frankfurt dense inner city districts. Together with Bockenheim, the Westend is part of the Ortsbezirk Innenstadt II.

Sites

* America House (Amerikahaus) - The building, dedicated in 1958, located on the street corner of Reuterweg/Staufenstraße was intended to improve Frankfurt and American cultural relations by presenting books, films, and music.

• Westendsynagoge -- The only of the four largest Frankfurt synagogues to surive the Holocaust, the Westsynagoge lies in the Altkönigstraße. It has a unusual Assyrian archictecture with elements of Art Nouveau (Jugendstil).
