It is possible to visit the Deutsche Börse Group at Börsenplatz 4, Frankfurt/Main.
Deutsche Börse AG’s Visitors Center offers you an opportunity to visit the stock exchange.
To outsiders, the stock exchange automatically evokes images of turbulent floor trading and wildly gesticulating traders who communicate and make deals via hand signals and shouting. This is the impression you get from the movies.
Today Xetra® accounts for more than 90 percent of share trading at all German exchanges. However, it is still worth taking a look at floor trading on the Börse Frankfurt (Frankfurt Stock Exchange).
