Alfred J. Meyers is a historical spot in Frankfurt, named for a leader of FSV Frankfurt. The man behind the name was born in Brooklyn in 1895. His story connects this place with Bornheimer Hang, a stadium built under his presidency and opened in 1931. That stadium introduced modern design to Frankfurt’s football landscape.

Meyers moved from Brooklyn to Frankfurt, first serving as treasurer under Dr David Rothschild before leading the club. He became president of FSV Frankfurt in 1928. His tenure brought a modern venue during the global economic crisis, attracting players and coaches from England, Sweden, and Norway. The stadium project marked a significant achievement during that economic crisis. Nazi persecution ended his presidency in 1933 and forced his emigration to the United States. After emigrating, he remained connected to FSV Frankfurt. The club named him honorary president posthumously in 2024. That honour links his name with Bornheimer Hang in the club’s recorded history.
