The bahnhof is scarcely half a square kilometre larger in area than the Altstadt making it the second smallest borough of the city. The longest border line is just short of a kilometre long. Almost trapeze shaped, this borough lies bewteen the Alleenring to the west, Mainzer Landstraße in the north and the Anlagenring to the east. In the south the river Main forms a natural border. Adjacent boroughs to the west are Gutleut and Gallus around the Hauptbahnhof (main train station), in the north Westend-Süd, in the east Frankfurter Innenstadt and to the south on the opposite side of the Main Sachsenhausen-Nord. The borough lies in the central part Frankfurt's inner city.

There are no big, central parks in the little borough, like there are in the other parts of Frankfurt, but in the south of the quarter lies the Mainufer, one of the most beloved green areas of Frankfurt. In 1860 a silted branch of the Main, the Kleine Main, was filled up and the offshore island Mainlust was connected to the main bank. On this land Sebastian Rinz, the city gardener, laid out a green area with mediterranean vegitation which was soon named Nizza in common speech. The Frankfurt families Guaita and Loeen had already possessed large landscaped gardens in the climatically favoured area of the river west of the old city walls since the seventeenth century.

Against commonly held opinion the red light trade occupies only a small part of the station quarter which is concentrated mainly along Taunusstraße and in parts of its side roads. (Source: Wikipedia )
