Nordend (meaning north end in German) is the northernmost peak of the Monte Rosa Massif. Nordend is the fourth highest peak of the massif, after the Dufourspitze (4,634 m), the Ostspitze (4,632 m) and the Grenzgipfel (4,618 m).
Nordend-West and Nordend-Ost are two city districts of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The division into a western and an eastern part is mostly for administrative purposes as the Nordend is generally considered an entity. Both city districts are part of the Ortsbezirk Innenstadt III.
As a whole, the Nordend is the second largest district by population in Frankfurt after Sachsenhausen. It is located north of Frankfurt's city centre and borders the Westend to the west, the Ostend to the east and Dornbusch and Eckenheim to the north.
The Nordend is popular for its bohemian mix of restaurants, cafés and bars. In the 1960s and 1970s, the Nordend was one of the centers of the student riots in Germany, along with Hamburg and Berlin. The former German foreign minister's Joschka Fischer political career started here as a student leader for the Green Party. In the 2006 local elections, Fischer's Green Party became the biggest party in the local district assembly, called "Ortsbeirat".
Hear the cries of the wolves
In the moon of the woods,
On the marble mounts
They answer my call
Feel the cold from the North
It comes with the winds,
Hear the howling horns,
Hear the clash of the steel
As the lightning, comes from the sky,
As the churches are eated by flames
I feel the Evil deep in my heart
I feel the endless hate
Rise, oh forest,
You, and your sons
A thousand blades of steel
Steel, a sparkling brand
Hear the cry of the moon
It comes with the winds
The howling wolves
The clash of the steel
Northwind, it howls
