If you lived around Wiesbaden, you probably rode over to Frankfurt several times a year and walked through the station.
What you can describe today? The structure is basically the same. McDonalds and Burger King are there today. A lot of the 'underground' in front of the building has aged harshly. The drug characters from the 1990s are mostly gone, due to the police making an effort to chase them out.
The 'mile' in front of station? Still heavily influenced by drugs, and I'd strongly recommend a walk in the district after dark. It's pretty easy around 9 AM to find doped-up folks laying on the street area.
There's a major urbanization project (likely leading into the billions) where several extra tunnels will be added, even deeper under the structure.
Crime? The station is one of those places that I'd advise you to get off your train and proceed onto the S-Bahn, U-Bahn or bus as quickly as possible. I wouldn't linger and stand there admiring the structure. If you do stand there....you kinda note after a while that there is a police presence, and you might encounter three or four patrols walking throughout the station or underground areas.
