Grüneburgpark

About

The park takes its name from the “Green Castle” that once stood here in the 14th century. In the late 18th century, banker Peter Heinrich von Bethmann Metzler transformed the grounds into a landscaped garden, later acquired by the Rothschild family, who commissioned Heinrich Siesmayer to design it in the style of an English landscape garden. Their grand palace was destroyed during World War II, but the park was expanded and opened to the public, becoming a vital part of Frankfurt’s urban life. Today, Grüneburgpark is a favorite destination for walkers, joggers, and families, with wide lawns, shaded paths, and playgrounds. It also houses the Korean Garden, a gift from South Korea, and borders the Palmengarten, the Botanical Garden, and Goethe University’s Westend Campus, creating a unique cultural and natural ensemble. With its century-old trees, sweeping meadows, and rich history, Grüneburgpark offers both a retreat from city life and a living reminder of Frankfurt’s layered past.
