Definitely Frankfurt was more safe 20 years ago. It has changed a lot. We won't talk about central station - it's a mess. (Look at the YouTube Video of "Kurt Caz"...)
But the center is full of pickpockets, and there are many neighbourhoods where you shouldn't go, If you're not living there - Niederursel/North-West, Bonames/Ben-Gurion-Ring, Gallusviertel/Kriegstraße and his surroundings...
Frankfurt isn't the city it was 15-20 years ago. I feel more safe, even by night, in Cancun/Mexico.
Greetings
My wife and daughter regularly move all around town until 10 pm and I never have any worry...and I say this as someone with a past history and training in personal protection detail, which leaves me with a bit more of a head on a swivel than most. At night if you stick to the more populated areas and don't stumble around like an easy drunken target you shouldn't have any problems at all.
The area around the central station has a bad reputation, but the rest of the city is completely fine at any time of day. If you need to walk out of the central station at night, stick to the main street and stay more on the right side of the Bahnhofsviertel. There are restaurants and clubs where people party through the night since they stay open pretty late, so it’s actually not bad at all.
But here’s my advice: if you feel really unsafe or have concerns, the central station itself is safe—even in the middle of the night. There are always people around, including police and train staff, so you’ll have support if anything happens.
If you do have to walk out, just head straight along the main street (Kaiserstraße) into the city, and as a tourist, you really shouldn’t have any problems at all—unless, of course, you go around shouting “I have crack right here and I wan't to fight”
