Der Frankfurter Hauptbahnhof ersetzte drei ältere kopfbahnhöfe und wurde 1888 eröffnet. Hermann Eggert entwarf wie im architektenwettbewerb gefordert einen „höchste künstlerische Kraft herausfordernden Denkmalbau“. Der bahnhof war als “tor zur stadt” geplant und auch aufgrund der lage im netz (Frankfurt ist bedeutender verkehrsknotenpunkt) entsprechend monumental. Ursprünglich gab es nur drei bahnsteighallen, die beiden äußeren wurden 1924 stilistisch passend dazugebaut. 2002 bis 2006 wurden die bahnsteigdächer erneuert.
