Frankfurt Airport is the largest airport in Germany in terms of annual passenger numbers. Frankfurt currently has four runways. From the spotter's point of view, planespotting Frankfurt is particularly interesting due to the extensive cargo traffic and the many international passenger airlines and the two parallel runways (07L/25R and 07R/25L).
Planespotting Frankfurt on 28 February 2015
Last weekend, we travelled to the Hochtaunus region near Frankfurt am Main for a family celebration. After a delicious currywurst at Best Worscht in Town (Grüneburgweg 37, 60322 Frankfurt am Main) and a short tour through the high-rise canyons of the financial district, we drove directly to Frankfurt Airport for planespotting. We parked our car near the airlift memorial. From there, it's only a few metres on foot to a perfect spotter spot. The spotter point is suitable for approaches from the east to runways 25L and 25R and for aircraft taxiing to runway 18 via the "Bravo East" taxiway.

Great pictures and a great blog! I was in Amsterdam last week, but I think I'll have to go to Frankfurt for some spotting!
Best regards

Thank you very much! :)
I've only been to Frankfurt once for spotting and it's worth it. Depending on the time of day, there are also various other spots.
Best regards
