Comedians born in Frankfurt am Main

Rising on the Main river in Hesse, Frankfurt am Main is Germany's financial heart, its cluster of glass towers earning the nickname Mainhattan. Beyond banking, the city treasures its reconstructed Roemer old town, the birthplace of the writer Goethe, a famous cider called Apfelwein, and one of Europe's busiest airports. A strong Kabarett tradition sits alongside a busy stand-up scene in both German and English, hosted across the city's clubs and stages.

Frankfurt am Main is the birthplace of comedians Eckart von Hirschhausen and Robert Treutel.
