Is the minhag of Franfurt to tuck in the tzitzis or to show them?

I don't know whether this applies to all of Frankfurt, but my grandfather ז”ל was quite opposed to the practice of leaving one's tzitzis out. Furthermore, his brothers in law did/do not wear theirs out.

In Frankfurt, this would likely have been seen as a breach of decorum, particularly considering R' Neuberger's memoir in this website.

Also, most pre-war gedaulim were known for tucking their tzitzis in, including the Chofetz Chaim of Radun, despite his p'sak in the Mishnah Berurah.

I asked this question to R. Hamburger in regards to today, and he told me it was best to wear them out if you can.

See Rav Hamburger's reply at length (with sources) in this post . At the end of the post he mentioned that in a neighborhood where no anti-Semitism would be aroused as a reaction to the ציצית, he would not hide them. (This would be the reason why before the war they were not worn out in most places - because of anti-Semitism).
