Grüneburgpark, Public park in Westend, Germany
Grüneburgpark is a large public green space in Frankfurt's Westend district featuring open meadows, walking paths, and multiple children's play areas. The grounds border the Palmengarten botanical gardens and provide various zones for different outdoor activities.
The land was originally owned by the Goethe family before the Rothschilds built a palace there in 1837. The structure was destroyed during World War II and the land was later converted into a public park.
The park features a Korean garden built as a gift following South Korea's participation in the 2005 Frankfurt Book Fair. This section displays traditional East Asian design elements and invites visitors to spend time there.
The park has numerous picnic spots and areas for sports activities like jogging or ball games spread across the grounds. Most paths are well-maintained and easily accessible on foot, making it ideal for a visit on any day of the week.
The park was designed in 1877 by Heinrich Siesmayer in English garden style and still displays the features of this classical design approach today. The layout created a pleasing framework that has proven successful over many decades.

Frankfurt places you between centuries of history and one of Europe's tallest skylines. Medieval half-timbered houses at the Römer share the horizon with glass and steel towers that define the financial district. The Main Tower's observation deck shows you this contrast from above, while bridges like the Eiserner Steg let you watch how the skyscrapers reflect on the river's surface. You can photograph Gothic sandstone at the Cathedral in the morning, then walk to the Palmengarten to frame tropical plants inside 19th-century glass houses. The city's photography opportunities follow both banks of the Main River. The Museumsufer brings together classical museum buildings and modern galleries along the water, with steps where people gather when the sun comes out. Inside the Städel, natural light falls on seven centuries of European paintings. Kleinmarkthalle shows everyday life through market stalls and morning crowds, while the Alte Oper offers neo-Renaissance facades against the backdrop of office towers. Goethe's birthplace preserves 18th-century rooms in the middle of a city that keeps building upward, creating subjects that range from quiet interiors to bold geometric patterns on skyscraper walls.
