HISTORY
von

photographie
projects,
the
exhibition
from
the
works
of
the
New
York
fotographer
Frank
Schramm
show
that
the
Window
to
the
City
is
open
for
all
kind
of
arts
and
cultural
institutions
of
Frankfurt.
The
eponym
of
the
restaurant
is
the
Viennese
architect
Margarete
Schütte‐Lihotzky.
As
the
first
woman,
she
studied
at
the
Viennese
University
of
applied
arts
and
has
been
appointed
by
Ernst
May
into
the
municipal
work
service
of
the
city
of
Frankfurt
in
the
year
1926.
There
Schütte‐
Lihotzky
created
the
original
„Frankfurt
Kitchen“
in
the
year
1920
whichever
has
been
taken
as
a
prototype
for
all
built‐in
kitchens.

While
she
created
this
kitchen
she
brought
forth
her
wishes
for
an
optimized
and
economized
working
process.
The
design
of
the
functionality,
the
clarity
and
the
consequent
accomplishment
accumulated
centralized
creative
tendencies.
The
reminiscence
to
Margarete
Schütte‐Lihotzky
refers
to
the
understanding
of
Margarete
which
you
will
find
everywhere
in
the
design
of
the
restaurant.
Schütte‐Lihotzky
advocated
a
functional
separation
of
living
and
working
rooms
to
separate
the
domestic
working
areas
from
the
relaxation,
entertaining
and
eating
zones.
Margarete
reframes
this
approach
by
incorporating
parts
into
the
guest
area.
Some
seats
allow
overseeing
the
open
kitchen
to
enjoy
the
full
range
of
our
exquisite
regional
products.
The
citizens
of
Frankfurt,
the
visitors
of
the
city,
the
cultural
environment,
the
township
and
the
financial
sector
are
supposed
to
receive
a
conjointly
“Frankfurt
Kitchen”.
A
place
to
get
together
for
private
events,
business
meetings,
relaxed
gatherings
and
for
interesting
talks.
Located
in
the
heart
of
the
city,
Margarete
is
nearby
main
sightseeing
places
like
the
Paulskirche,
the
Römer
or
the
Dom,
next
to
the
historical
city
of
Frankfurt.

Margarete
is
domiciled

in
the
“House
of
Books”,

located
in
the
same
house
as
the
“Börsenverein
des
Deutschen
Buchhandels”
(German
Publishers
and
Bookselling
Cooperation)
and
the
Buchmesse
Frankfurt
(bookfair
Frankfurt).
This
combination
will
create
an
exchanging
atmosphere
between
the
various
companies
and
the
Frankfurt
public.
