It is also Germany's premier traffic hub and home to one of the world's busiest airports and largest rail terminals. Frankfurt was an imperial city in the Holy Roman Empire, subordinate only to the Holy Roman Emperor himself, not to a regional ruler. Although its major historic landmarks were largely decimated in World War II, those reconstructed to their former glory (including the Roemer, the Old Opera House, the Hauptwache and the Goethe House) are worth seeing. Further points of interest include the Senckenberg Natural History Museum and the Museum of Modern Art. Culinary specialties are of the more hearty variety and include wurst, kraut, green sauce, and apple wine.
