Frankfurt am Main: Pic Spam

[selenak]

There are two Frankfurts of relevance for Fredercians: Frankfurt an der Oder, the lesser known one, where Fritz on Christmas 1731 was given a concert organized by students as a Christmas surprise, very likely a concert starring Fredersdorf (and thus causing their first meeting), for reasons more detailed here, and Frankfurt am Main, the better known Frankfurt, among many other things the city where Holy Roman Emperors were voted for and crowned. (Meaning, for our particular ensemble of characters: where Franz Stephan and Joseph as well as Mt's luckless rival the Wittelsbach Emperor Karl Albrecht were crowned.) Also the city where Fritz had Voltaire arrested without having any legal authority to do so there whatsoever. And of course, hometown to Goethe.
