Franz Bourchard Ernst Adickes (19 February 1846 – 4 February 1915 in Frankfurt ) was a German local politician. He was from 1873 second mayor of Dortmund, from 1876 mayor of Altona and from 14 October 1890 to 1 October 1912, Mayor of the city of Frankfurt am Main.[1][2]
In the entire history of Frankfurt am Main, Adickes is the mayor with the longest tenure.
In 1912, he was appointed honorary citizen of the city of Frankfurt am Main and in 1914 was awarded the title "Real Geheimer Rat", a symbolic honor for the highest officials in Prussia.
On 25 October 1916, a bust was unveiled in the atrium of the new university for the university founder, who died the previous year.
In 1996, on the occasion of Adickes' 150th birthday, the Institute of Urban History organized the exhibition Breakthrough to Modernity.
