Bornheim is a quarter of Frankfurt am Main , Germany . It is part of the Ortsbezirk Bornheim/Ostend .
In the past, Bornheim was called Das lustige Dorf ("The merry village"), because it was the red-light district of Frankfurt up to some 120 years ago. It still retains some of its lively charm and is said to be the younger crowd's hangout, shared with Sachsenhausen . The main street of Bornheim is Berger Straße, a cosmopolitan boulevard with many bars, pubs and restaurants and two of Frankfurt's most traditional cider houses, Solzer and Zur Sonne. The Holy Cross Church with the Holy Cross - Centre for Christian Meditation and Spirituality of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Limburg , known for its modernist architecture , is located in Bornheim.
Two underground lines ( U4 and U7 ) run through Bornheim.
