How it's used
Refers primarily to the major financial hub in Hesse, as it is the most globally recognized city of that name. When distinguishing it from the smaller city on the Polish border, speakers will explicitly add 奧得河畔 to avoid confusion. It is common to simply refer to the financial hub as 法蘭克福 without additional qualifiers in most professional or travel contexts.
