Ostend is a borough of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. It is part of the Ortsbezirk Innenstadt IV, and is subdivided into 4 Stadtbezirke. It is home to several brothels located along the Main River. The most famous of these brothels, or "Puffs," is the Eros-Center with its ubiquitous "legs" entrance. Ostend has a spectacular view of Sachsenhausen where many tourists, including young American Soldiers, frivolously spent their money.
The Heinrich-von-Gagern-Gymnasium, a Gymnasium and the Hoch Conservatory are in the Ostend.
