Refectory

The prestigious Refectory, situated on the ground floor of the monastery building, remains almost entirely in its original, late-medieval condition and constitutes one of the rare secular medieval interiors in Frankfurt. The Southern wall is adorned with an almost 30-meter-long mural by Jörg Ratgeb, which was painted at the beginning of the 16th century and depicts the history of the Carmelite order. Sandstone pillars support the ornate wooden beam ceiling. Two large Gothic lancet windows and a number of high windows in a sandstone setting provide an ample amount of daylight. The ground is covered by sandstone plates. A programmable lighting system creates the perfect lighting for every kind of event. The Refectory lends itself perfectly to formal concerts, smaller-scale performing arts performances, lectures, conferences, symposia, conventions, exhibitions, fashion shows, product presentations, banquets, and receptions in a historical setting.
