Kleistpark, Urban park in Frankfurt Oder, Germany
Kleistpark is a green space in Frankfurt an der Oder defined by two rococo colonnades known as the Königskolonnaden. These ornate stone arcades with decorative columns form the park's most distinctive architectural features and frame the entrance area.
The Königskolonnaden were moved from Berlin to Frankfurt an der Oder in 1910 due to road construction projects in the capital. These 18th-century structures found new purpose as park features in their relocated setting.
The park is named after Heinrich von Kleist, a writer whose works shaped German literature. His birthplace is honored through this green space, which connects visitors to the city's literary heritage.
The park features multiple paths connecting different areas, allowing for leisurely walks through its grounds. Most sections are easily accessible and offer ample space for exploring the landscaped gardens.
The Königskolonnaden have an unexpected story: they were not originally built for this location but were relocated as complete structures from hundreds of kilometers away. This makes them rare examples of architectural relocation from that era.
