PhotoFrankfurt’s Bahnhofsviertel, the city’s red light district, was the neighborhood that parents always warned their children about. PhotoOn a recent morning Mr. Macias was sitting in the sun outside AMP, his latest venture. About 10 years ago Mr. Rehberger and Mr. Macias, who are friends, founded Club Michel, an underground supper club that Mr. Rehberger also used as a canteen for his studio. Mr. Rehberger also designed the colorful neon sign that reads “Free Parking, Free Coffee, Freedom” over the year-old Pizzeria Montana (montana-pizzeria.de), now arguably Frankfurt’s coolest pizza place, just around the corner from Club Michel. Bahnhofsviertel, he said, is a good counterpoint to Frankfurt’s affluent vibe, adding that it is “important to the atmosphere of the city.”
