Attributes can be city walls, crown, coat of arms with the Frankfurt Eagle, the Golden Bull, Code, the Frankfurt Parish Church tower, palm fronds, Empire scepter, the sword of Charlemagne. The most common presentation can be found on the corner of the house Alt-Limburg, which is part of the building complex of the Frankfurt city hall Römer.
