TimeRide Frankfurt: Entry Ticket

Discover Frankfurt's Past With TimeRide

Embark on an immersive journey through the heart of Frankfurt’s history with your TimeRide Frankfurt entry ticket. This unique virtual reality experience lets you step back almost two centuries to explore what life was like in the city during the 1800s.

The Experience Begins: Entering the 19th Century

Upon entering TimeRide, you will be greeted by a world that carefully reconstructs the sights, sounds and atmosphere of 19th-century Frankfurt. The journey is thoughtfully designed into three key stops—each revealing a distinctive facet of the city’s rich heritage.

First Stop: The Colonial Goods Shop

Your adventure starts in a colonial goods store, perfectly recreated to resemble shops from around 1830. Here you will see authentic wares, vintage jars and trade items that shaped local commerce. Learn about imported spices, coffee and other treasures that arrived in Frankfurt by river and rail, transforming kitchens and homes. The staff will guide you through the intricate network of trade and demonstrate how global connections reached everyday residents over 200 years ago.

Second Stop: The Riedel Family Study

Next, step into the refined world of the Riedel family’s study—a Biedermeier-era salon filled with period portraits, elegant décor and the spirit of transformation. As you move through the salon, detailed stories and curated displays reveal the forces of industrialization, the stirrings of revolution and new ideas shaping democracy in Frankfurt. Absorb the narratives that capture how the city and its residents adapted to sweeping social and technological changes.

Third Stop: A Virtual Carriage Ride

The tour culminates in a memorable highlight: donning a state-of-the-art virtual reality headset and climbing aboard a life-size carriage. This carefully reconstructed vehicle takes you on a guided ride through the bustling streets and squares of historical Frankfurt. As you travel, the fictional merchant Theodor Riedel becomes your companion, narrating tales, pointing out important city sights and describing the vibrant daily life of his time. The VR experience combines realistic city sounds and immersive visuals, making you feel as if you are truly back in 19th-century Frankfurt.
