You at the airport or the hauptbahnhof?
International airport.
I have an old acquaintance who lived there many years. He's no longer there but I reached out and hoping to hear back.
Thought I would que up the OT world travelers also.

Its really hard to do anything with 9 hours, other than a meal.
You figure its at least an hour to deplane and get through immigration (probably closer to 90 minutes to 2 hours), and you probably need to be at the airport 90 mins before your flight.
Throw in 30 minutes (very optimistic) to get into the city and out, and you are looking at 4-5 hours in the city. And that is if everything goes right.
I haven't tried it in Frankfurt, but I tried it in amsterdamn and Rome and felt crazy rushed the whole time. And well frankfurt is an industrial city, it doesn't have a ton of sights.
I had a 6 hr layover in frankfurt last fall. I just found a bench, laid down and took a nap.
eta: Food in frankfurt airport is pretty good, at least for a german city.

when you re-enter the airport, there's a great deli, I think it's one level lower than street level, with excellent food, I always get something for the flight, I guarantee it will be better than anything on the plane

This time of night I'd go to Sachsenhausen.
