Martin Elsaesser (Jörg Schilling)

For a long time, the large market hall Großmarkthalle (1928) by Martin Elsaesser stood emblematically for the New Frankfurt. Now, with a comprehensive and richly illustrated monograph, the architecture historian and Elsaesser researcher Jörg Schilling is presenting a differentiated view of the exceptionally productive and versatile building artist who was marginalised by the Nazi regimen. The Martin-Elsaesser foundation, founded in 2009 by Elsaesser's descendants after a settlement with the European Central Bank and the city of Frankfurt, enabled the opulently presented publication after extensive research.
